About the book
Jokerman 8 is a rocking, rolling wild-eyed hayride through the west coast eco-saboteur movement and a restless multi-stranded narrative about two kinds of pasts that can never be reconstituted: happy childhoods and forests left standing. Written in a polyphonic prose where every tendency is contrapuntal to another - rollicking yet meditative, lush yet stark - this novel can best be summed up by its final sentence, 'Live happy.' 9781932360349 EXT 1 05 03 340 9781573660341 PDF 1 BC 0 9781573660341 COM 1 US 0 9781573660341 SBJ 1 12 02 WZ 0 Miscellaneous items 9781573660341 ADC 1 01 0 General/Trade 9781573660341 TXC 1 03 00 0 The cheekiest of the literary chicks goes public with her first full collection of stories.
