Sudden Glory

Nerdy, prudish Oscar Cox has bragged to one too many people about his fantasy life as international playboy and all around man of mystery-and now his T.A. union wants to hire him to assassinate some sap of an undergrad. If that's not bad enough, perhaps the T.A. union is operating under the command of sinister shadowy forces from three thousand years ago. How are you going to math your way out of this one, Oscar?

A Pynchonian comedy, a paranoid thriller, a northeastern Confederacy of Dunces-this book is also both a collection of penis jokes the only accurate surviving record of what life was like in New York City in 2003.
