Klappentext zu „Grasshopper Jungle “
A 2015 Michael L. Printz Honor BookWinner of the 2014 Boston Globe-Horn Book Award for Fiction"Raunchy, bizarre, smart and compelling." --Rolling Stone
Grasshopper Jungle is simultaneously creepy and hilarious. Reminds me of Kurt Vonnegut s in Slaughterhouse Five, in the best sense. --New York Times Book Review
In the small town of Ealing, Iowa, Austin and his best friend, Robby, have accidentally unleashed an unstoppable army. An army of horny, hungry, six-foot-tall praying mantises that only want to do two things.
This is the truth. This is history.
It s the end of the world. And nobody knows anything about it.
You know what I mean.Funny, intense, complex, and brave, Grasshopper Jungle brilliantly weaves together everything from testicle-dissolving genetically modified corn to the struggles of recession-era, small-town America in this groundbreaking coming-of-age stunner.
