Crooked Little Vein
|
| | | Michael McGill is a burned-out private detective who suddenly becomes enlisted by an army of presidential goons to retrieve the real Constitution of the United States (the one with invisible amendments), created by some of the Founding Fathers as a fallback for their great experiment. Full of mind-bending style and packed with a wild cast of characters.
Annotation:
Michael McGill, a down-and-out New York detective, is hired by the heroin-addicted Chief-of-Staff of the United States to track down the secret "real" Constitution. With a tattooed sidekick named Trix by his side, McGill begins a wonderfully seedy road trip through a surreal and viciously comic America. This first novel from Warren Ellis, a DC-comic writer, combines punk-rock, noir, and the absurdist sensibilities of Vonnegut to make a gritty and compelling read.
| Praise| "Ellis is a connoisseur of the weird...and he's saved his best material for us in this volume. This is a book that would make [the internet shock site] Goatse blush in places, and laugh in others, and do some discreet mail-order shopping in others." - Cory Doctorow 07/26/2007 |
