Bye, Bye Miss American Pie
Drawing its influences from Terry Southern’s Candy (itself an answer to Candide), Alice in Wonderland, Jonathan Swift, Kurt Vonnegut, and Roald Dahl — as well as author Mike Edison’s own sprawling comic-erotic epics and the insanely giddy filth he perpetrated as editor of the First Amendment-defining Screw magazine — BYE BYE, MISS AMERICAN PIE is a high-speed novella that combines the sweet guilt of a back-of-a-cereal-box read with the urgency and subversive sexuality of a great rock’ n ’ roll song, and is at turns hilarious, shrewd, savage, fearless, dirty, and wise.
