A NEW YORK TIMES EDITORS' CHOICE * "An astonishing baller of a book...pitch perfect in voice (Tony Soprano meets Samuel Beckett)...Unputdownable." --Mary Karr * "Hilarious, exceptional." -- The New York Times Book Review

A riotous, irreverent yet big-hearted debut novel about a broke father-son duo who go all-in on some of America's deadliest obsessions.

Even though his firearms store is failing, things are looking up for David Rizzo. His son, Nick, has just recovered after a near-fatal overdose, which means one thing: Rizzo can use Nick's resurrection to create the most compelling television commercial for a gun emporium the world has ever seen. After all, this is America, Rizzo tells himself. Surely anything is possible. But the relationship between father and son is fragile, mired in mutual disappointment. And when the pair embarks on their scheme to avoid bankruptcy, a high-stakes crash of hijinks, hope, and disaster ensues.

Featuring a cast of unforgettable characters and "honest, high-wire virtuosic writing" (George Saunders) this razor-sharp social satire "pays tribute to gallows humorists like Sam Lipsyte, Gary Shteyngart, Jonathan Tropper, and Jonathan Franzen" (Chicago Review of Books).
