The Dying Grass by WIlliam T. Vollman

Jane Smiley wrote in her New York Times review of the book: “Vollmann is one of the most idiosyncratic and challenging novelists at work today.

As a special KBOO Fall Membership Drive gift, we have three signed copies of The Dying Grass to give away to new or renewing members.
