Featuring a mysterious cattle epidemic, a humiliating stint in rehab, an unwanted pregnancy, a mom–turned–media personality (“Mother Courage”), and a workplace with a bio-dome housing a perfectly engineered cornfield, it is at once a scathing satire and a moving meditation on love and loneliness. With unusual verbal finesse and great humor, Sam Byers neatly skewers the tangled relationships and unhinged narcissism of a self-obsessed generation in a remarkable, uproarious first novel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eJanuary 30, 2014 by Fourth Estate\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Good \/ Paperback \/ Sam Byers","offer_id":51260909420842,"sku":"9780007412105","price":35.0,"currency_code":"ILS","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/4039\/5562\/files\/21088854.jpg?v=1773772275","url":"https:\/\/evasusedbooks.co\/products\/idiopathy","provider":"Eva's Used Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
