Boonville
a novel by Robert Mailer Anderson
Robert Mailer Anderson is a very sick manand a very funny writer.
Because I think Boonville by Robert Mailer Anderson is terrific, I am obliged to state that he is not a relative. He has, however, written a most exciting first novel and gives more than a few signs that he could become a member of that vanishing American breeda major novelist.
Robert Mailer Andersons a brilliant new voicetwitchy, corny, sly, cackling and sad, but most of all, racing with vitality and goosing you to keep up. Boonville is the creepy and hilarious coming-of-age story the territory deservesnot your parents Vineland, but your own.
