This is the story of Gurion Maccabee, age ten: a lover, a fighter, a scholar, and a truly spectacular talker. Expelled from three Jewish day-schools for acts of violence and messianic tendencies, Gurion ends up in the Cage, a special lockdown program for the most hopeless cases at Aptakisic Junior High. But from the moment he meets the beautiful Eliza June Watermark, to the terrifying Events of November 17, Gurion's search for truth and righteousness becomes a violent, unstoppable revolution. With the troubling energy of DBC Pierre and the encyclopedic mind of David Foster Wallace, Adam Levin describes a world driven equally by moral fervor and slapstick comedy-a novel that is muscular and exuberant, troubling and empathetic, monumental, breakneck, romantic and unforgettable.
