Description

Scott Snyder’s protagonists occupy a playfully deranged imaginary planet in which a Wall Street broker may discover herself equipped with a speargun, protecting a Dumpster outside a pawnshop in California; or a worker at Niagara Falls (his work: viewing for jumpers) will require off in an automobile following a blimp in which his partner has fled. However in Snyder’s marvelous creativity there’s a thin membrane between the unique and the troubling: the improbable event between a well-known actress—in concealing after surgery—and a sporting goods salesman takes an ominous change just like she starts to recover; an involved couple’s connection is broken when one of these becomes enthusiastic about an offender in the women’s jail nearby. Black, funny, effective, this debut series underscores the amazing items of the very unique youthful writer.From the Hardcover version.
