All of those things swirled around my head for ages and then one night, while my wife and I celebrated our three year anniversary of being boyfriend and girlfriend, we were drinking vodka and cokes, eating takeaway currys, and watching Big Boi videos, when the idea for a road trip book about the 1968 election being contested between John Wayne and Bobby Kennedy jumped into my brain. The initial idea changed a whole lot in the interim 7-ish years, but that was the original spark of inspiration. (less)

Insanely clever. Could very easily have disappeared up its own arse but instead managed to stay scary, funny, suprising, readable, and sad all the way until the wonderfully trippy finale.

Michael Chabon
“The obscure unease that Pluto has always inspired, a dog owned by a mouse, daily confronted with the mutational horror of Goofy.”
