Book Synopsis
Vivid, bawdy, comic, and arresting, the exciting new novel by the Indonesian phenomenon, Eka Kurniawan

Trade Review
"Kurniawan tells the ribald, noir-inflected, and oddly epic story of a man’s quest to regain his sexual virility...This is an almost unbelievably fun and weird novel." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"The physicality of his prose and his story is invigorating." -- The Paris Review
"Political and profound, even though it uses language drawn from pulp fiction and popular movies. Kurniawan tells a story about injustice, the limits of revenge and the redemptive power of love." -- Caravan
"A tragicomedy Indonesian thriller... By turns a soft porn flick, a manic road thriller and a martial arts movie... A blast of a book" -- Financial Times
"A potent blend of grounded realism and flighty fantasy... a pulpy, visceral tale of sex, violence and comeuppance" -- The Economist
"Dark, sexually charged and subversive comedy..." -- Claire Fallon - Huffington Post
"The best action-packed crime comedy about murder for hire and male impotence you'll read this year!" -- Keaton Patterson - Brazos Bookstore
