Zustand: Good. Well marks the astonishing debut of an author with a singular and unflinching voice and vision. The denizens of this brilliant novel are boxers, bartenders, and data-entry technicians, fishermen, mothers, and exotic dancers, would-be kings and queens of the punk rock scene, sparemen and gunmen and soon-to-be dead men.

They search in sex, drugs, and violence, and in visions of apocalypse and creation, dreams of angels and killers and local sports championships.
