A meditation on the ever-constant allure of risk, fortune and fate from Booker Prize-winner DBC Pierre.
Vernon God Little. Stan posiadania: piętnaście lat w zapadłej dziurze w Teksasie, jedna toksyczna matka, jedna dziewczyna, z którą zamienił paręnaście słów i jeden przyjaciel. Dziwny, ale fajny. I ten najlepszy przyjaciel pewnego dnia zastrzelił w szkole szesnaście osób, a potem siebie. Vernona tam nie było, ale nie było go też na lekcji, więc dla wybitnie inteligentnych stróżów prawa oczywistym się stało, że właśnie znaleźli wspólnika zbrodni. Szalony dzieciak, który popełnił już samobójstwo, nie był dla nich rozwiązaniem sprawy. Bezpodstawnie osądzony i już skazany oprzez media, przerażony absurdem otaczającego go świata i święcie przekonany, że niewinność przecież musi zwyciężyć, Vernon ucieka. Nawet dość daleko... Przynajmniej na chwilę...
