With no alibi, Vernon becomes the target of a witch hunt. Desperate to escape, he flees his small Texan hometown, with America’s media on his tail. DBC Pierre’s Booker Prize-winning novel is a wild, hilarious, and energetic ride through absurd American life, featuring Texas twang, and a riotous live soundtrack by a live band.
