Krusoe Strikes Again!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Author Jim Krusoe serves up another literary knuckleball with "Girl Factory," an entertaining and darkly comic novel. In "Factory," the altruistic Jonathan uses his misguided common sense and good intentions to wreak havoc in the fictional town of St. Nils, with a few memorable detours along the way. Krusoe is inventive in style and structure in this hilarious and thought provoking work. Readers will also enjoy his first novel, "Iceland."
Girl Factory by Jim Krusoe
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
A guy walks into a yogurt parlor at his local mall and finds Steve Martin on duty. If you could channel the latter's brain as he recorded his dreams in a way that explained life and death and chance while he was reading a Japanese comic book, then you might--just might--begin to sense the funny/sad/bittersweet/surreal world of Jonathan, the kind and earnest narrator of Jim Krusoe's liberating and original new novel, Girl Factory.
this is a must read
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Girl Factory is a brilliant novel by one of America's most undiscovered literary geniuses. It is wonderfully funny, and disturbing in all the best ways. I haven't read a single other book that took me to the extremes of laughing out loud and sadness in such a short novel. Read it!
