About this title

Billy England and his sister Girl are clever, stylish and damaged. Billy is a teenage catastrophe theorist which is handy since their mother is missing, and when they last saw their father his Elvis hair was in flames. They decide to sell the pain of their childhoods to the American chat shows.

Review:

"Best of all is Levy's smart, modern prose style. The South-African-born Londoner writes with a sensibility once called "Beat." An excellent, entertaining selection."?-- "Booklist"

"An ambitious work by the author of "Beautiful Mutant"s, this complex and touching novel explores the themes of identity and a missing moral center with rare aplomb."?-- "PW"
