A ZYZZYVA FIRST BOOK

Boonville
a novel by Robert Mailer Anderson


“Robert Mailer Anderson is a very sick man—and a very funny writer.”

          Carl Hiaasen

“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 breed—a major novelist.”

          Norman Mailer

“Robert Mailer Anderson’s a brilliant new voice—twitchy, 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 deserves—not your parent’s Vineland, but your own.”

          Jonathan Lethem
