  “An unsettling, funny, freaky reimagining of America, impeccably written, by one of our most . . . interesting transgressors of literary boundaries.” —Michael Chabon, Pulitzer prize-winning author of The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay 
   
  Written in a voice that is warmhearted and hauntingly original, Any Day Now is the story of Clay, a small-town boy searching for his place in the new America—and hoping desperately to forget what happened back East with the girl he loved. 
   
  This poignant excursion into the last days of the Beats and the emerging radicalized culture of the sixties from Kentucky to New York City is a road movie of a novel. Beginning as a fifties coming-of-age story and ending in an isolated hippy commune under threat of revolution, Any Day Now provides a transcendent commentary on America, and the perils of growing up, then and now.

  “Highly recommended for its literary quality and creativity of vision.” —Library Journal

  “Thoroughly enthralling . . . a truly unique reading experience.” —San Francisco Book Review

  Katey Sagal ("Peg Bundy" on TV's Married With Children, and "Leela" from Futurama) makes a special guest appearance in this hilarious horror about a wickedly bad soul who tries to swipe the essence of innocents, leaving them with a blank look and an overwhelming desire to watch Maury Povich. The only opposition is a fumbling English professor armed with grape Jello! Wonderful new series from the Radio Repertory Company of America, with excellent production and a full original score.
