VERNON GOD LITTLE

Named as one of the 100 Best Things in the World by GQ magazine in 2003, the rio
tous adventures of Vernon Gregory Little in small town Texas and beachfront Mexi
co mark one of the most spectacular, irreverent and bizarre debuts of the 21st c
entury so far. Its depiction of innocence and simple humanity (all seasoned with
a dash of dysfunctional profanity) in an evil world is never less than astonish
ing. The only novel to be set in the barbecue sauce capital of Central Texas, Ve
rnon God Little suggests that desperate times throw up the most unlikely of hero
es.
