Review

"Rodes Fishburne has no interest in front-page realism--magic realism is more his thing. He's a fantacist, and his sweet comic novel is as light as a bright balloon, and just as appealing."

"Delightfully visual, full of whimsy, adventure, and blithely caustic social commentary, Fishburne's sweet and funny debut novel offers comic-book-like entertainment with an iron core."

Publisher's note

"Dreaming of becoming the world's greatest writer, twenty-five-year-old Slater Brown receives a gift from a mysterious man that leads to a job at a failing newspaper that is rescued from the brink of collapse by his witty columns about San Francisco's colorful residents, including gorgeous chess champion Callio de Quincy. A first novel. 35,000 first printing."

Annotation

A magical radio, a mad meteorological genius, and an alluring chess diva are a few of the more memorable plot elements in Rodes Fishburne's audacious debut novel. Slater Brown, a cockeyed delusionist, arrives in San Francisco with expectations of becoming a master novelist, or at least a writer people will remember. After less than a week, his optimism is evaporated, and he settles for job as a beat reporter for a local rag called "The Morning Trumpet." With the help of his trusty paranormal radio, he soon gains the inside scoop on the rampant corruption of the mayor and his office, which naturally draws the ire of the city's political bosses, resulting in a series of outrageous adventures reminiscent of Tom Robbins or Jonathan Carroll.
