Plans for a Mushroom Radio

In this dark, uproarious novel, cereal is replacing literature on the shelves of libraries, cats and dogs have become interbred, and insomnia has been declared an epidemic. To prove to his friends at the cereal factory that he too is a hard-core insomniac, Francis Hurd pretends to speak in tongues and sparks an explosive journey toward selfhood. Nash LaValley, retired schoolteacher, librarian, and radical subversive, has decided to falsify her death in order to evade federal authorities. But should she tell her family? The chemistry between Francis and Nash, neighbors and opposites, animates Plans for a Mushroom Radio's hilarious portrait of humanity colliding with its own inventions.
