Vernon God Little |
Vernon Little's best friend has murdered several of their classmates before turning the gun on himself. In a small Texas town that thirsts for vengeance, 15 year old Vernon is in the firing line. A conniving wannabe media star, a passive-aggressive mother and a host of other largely unsympathetic characters people Vernon's tale of attempted escape and search for the truth. Irreverent, agonising and hilarious.
