hilarious yet very recognisable American landscape.

Welcome to Inner Horner, a nation so small it can only accommodate one
citizen at a time. But when Inner Horner suddenly shrinks, forcing
three-quarters of the citizen in residence over the border into Outer
Horner territory, the Outer Hornerites declare an Invasion in Progress,
having fallen under the spell of the power-hungry and demagogic Phil. So
begins his brief and very frightening reign...< 'Graceful, dark,
authentic and funny' Thomas Pynchon 'An American short-story writer of
intimidating talent' Zadie Smith, Marie Claire 'Dark, concerned,
confused and funny, all at the same time ... Like so much of Saunders'
brilliant, crazy writing it's relevant, but not too relevant' The Times
'You do not read Saunders' stories so much as watch them detonate on the
page in front of you, like a firecracker some joker has slipped into
your pudding' Stephen Amidon, New Statesman >
