Jammu. No sooner has Jammu been installed, though, than the city's leading citizens become embroiled in an all-pervasive political conspiracy. A classic of contemporary fiction, The Twenty-Seventh City shows us an ordinary metropolis turned inside out, the American Dream unraveling into terror and dark comedy.Unsettling and visionary...A book of memorable characters, surprising situations, and provocative ideas.-The Washington PostAn imaginative and riveting examination of our flawed society...A rare blend of entertainment and profound social commentary.-Chicago Sun-Times
