Agent Nr. 67, aufgrund seiner fehlenden Größe auch "Pygmy" genannt, hat einen Auftrag: Amerika in die Knie zu zwingen. Er schleicht sich, getarnt als Austauschstudent, bei einer an die Simpsons erinnernde Familie ein, und packt das ´Übel´ an der Wurzel.
The most ambitious novel yet from the author of Fight Club and Choke.
Agent Number 67, nicknamed Pygmy for his diminutive size, arrives in the United States from his totalitarian homeland. An ´exchange student´ he is welcomed with open arms by his Midwestern host family. Simpsons-spinoffs, they introduce him into the rituals of postmodern American life, which he views with utter contempt. Along with his fellow operatives, he is planning something big, something truly, truly awful, to bring this big dumb country´s fat inhabitants to their knees.
"The boldest book in a long while...ace" Lauren Laverne Grazia
