FREE: Hard Cover Like New, Big machine By Victor LaValle

The listing, Hard Cover Like New, Big machine By Victor LaValle has ended.

A fiendishly imaginative comic novel about doubt, faith, and the monsters we carry within us.

Ricky Rice was as good as invisible: a middling hustler, recovering dope fiend, and traumatized suicide cult survivor running out the string of his life as a porter at a bus depot in Utica, New York. Until one day a letter appears, summoning him to the frozen woods of Vermont. There, Ricky is inducted into a band of paranormal investigators comprised of former addicts and petty criminals, all of whom had at some point in their wasted lives heard The Voice: a mysterious murmur on the wind, a disembodied shout, or a whisper in an empty room that may or may not be from God.

Evoking the disorienting wonder of writers like Haruki Murakami and Kevin Brockmeier, but driven by Victor LaValle’s perfectly pitched comic sensibility, Big Machine is a mind-rattling literary adventure about sex, race, and the eternal struggle between faith and doubt.


"Gabriella Garcia Marquez mixed with Edgat Allen Poe, but more than that. Big Machine is like nothing I've ever read, incredibly human and alien at the same time." -Mos Def

This is a hardback copy of a Big Machine in Like New condition. I read it once, it was a book club book. I live in a smoke free home and it's been on the shelf untouched over a year. It's a wild story, and we had a lot to talk about at book club that month!

GIN a little hire than some of my paperback books because this is heavier and shipping is free.
