The Prodigal - Softcover

In lean, distinct prose, punctuated with unpredictable typography, Alexander J. Allison’s first novel is a humorous, sharp and fresh look at the things that make living better than dying. Or not, whatever.

“Strange and stark and nakedly truthful. Painful as losing money; funny as realizing it wasn’t yours.”

–Jonathan Trigell, author of Boy A and Genus

“Alexander J. Allison is yet another example of why The American Revolution was a stupid ass idea. Who would ever want to break away from a country with writers like this? Allison’s The Prodigal is the type of book that makes you want to pick your own porn star name as long as your porn star name is HELL YEAH. Allison is the type of guy who understands we’re all snakes with alligators inside of us. We bust and burst and blow apart. We eat ourselves to death.”

–Scott McClanahan, author of Crapalachia and Hill William
