Home Land: A Novel

What if somebody finally wrote to his high school alumni bulletin and told...the truth! Home Land is a brilliant work from novelist Sam Lipsyte whom Jeffrey Eugenides calls original devious and very funny and of whose first novel Chuck Palahniuk wrote I laughed out loud--and I never laugh out loud.. The Eastern Valley High School Alumni newsletter Catamount Notes is bursting with tales of success: former students include a bankable politician and a famous baseball star not to mention a major-label recording artist. Then there is the appalling yet utterly lovable Lewis Miner class of 89--a.k.a Teabag--who did not pan out. Home Land is his confession in all its bitter lovelorn glory..
