Description
Barguss may be just another tiny town somewhere to the west of middle America, but it's also the setting for an unexpected and bloody accident involving a runaway blimp that becomes so notorious that a Hollywood production company simply has to make a movie about it. How will the Bargussians respond to their sudden celebrity status? And what happens when it all goes horribly wrong? 'Roo Kickkick & the Big Bad Blimp' is by turns wildly funny and warmly affectionate. Peopled by characters such as Raoul de los Dios, Monroe Mister Promised To, Doctor Dinner and Florence Mink, not to mention our hero Roo Kickkick, this book is an utterly brilliant and unpredictable story of the boredom and comedy of small-town life, and the bizarre effect of its unexpected encounter with sudden fame. Ryan is an exceptionally talented writer and this astoundingly original novel reveals his ability to blend the comic and the poignantly tragic to brilliant effect.
