Join Tim O’Brien of The Things They Carried fame for a rollicking road trip through the United States. In America Fantastica, Boyd Halverson robs a bank, kidnaps a teller, and sets off a satirically chaotic yet artfully crafted journey through jealous lovers, ghosts of the past, hitmen, multiple states, and countless entertaining escapades. Through all the humorous happenings, this razor-sharp novel delves into questions of national mythomania and the outlandish fantasies we create to keep us going.
