Interesting Facts About the State of Arizona by Jeremy Poolman
Bagdad, Arizona, is a town once prosperous but now in decay, a place where the lives of those shackled by age or circumstance are played out against the backdrop of the visible horizon. A weird event attracts the media and puts Bagdad back on the map.
'A delight to read, regardless of your affection for literary trends.. the tenderness of the writing triumphs, infusing the whole book with humanity and optimism' Guardian; 'Offbeat and original... evokes a world straight out of the all-American canvas of Edward Hopper Hopper or the films of David Lynch... a distinctive debut, displaying promising qualities of compassion and humour' Literary Review; 'Critical reviews cite David Lynch as a cinematic analogue, but Poolman's oddballs are a warmer bunch, his askance vision and dialogue closer in tone to the Coen brothers or Hal Hartley' Sunday Times; 'It is a clever blend of the freakish and the homely - essential reading' Options; 'Poolman's loopy humour is truly his own, and quite infectious' Daily Telegraph
