Well-respected throughout his career, Douglas Woolf created some of the most startlingly original works of the twentieth century. The two novels collected here create a dreamlike vision of America where helplessness prevails and the actions of the sane seem tinged with madness. Ya! takes place during the Christmas reunion of a penniless novelist and his teenage daughter at the nightmarish home of a super-American family; John-Juan begins with an amnesiac who finds himself in a Mexican border town with only his pajamas and watch before becoming part of a surreal and somewhat frightening community organized around "runners" that collect trash along the highways.

When I returned the book to my friend he was very disappointed when he noticed the teeth marks and told me curtly to "keep the book it was worthless with the disfiguring marks on it". So I kept the book and it is on my shelf. I think my housemate was pissed about the weekly dart tournament we & neighbors had just held in the attic, I had won again as usual. The winner got to keep a shiny trophy, awarded for writing to the divorced wife of the owner of the house, in his room. Somehow beer and other potions made this interesting I guess you had to be there.
PS I could be persuaded to part with this book and if your name is Ken you could pretend it was autographed by the author and handed to you. It reads "To Ken Thanks for stopping by. Best wishes Doug Woolf " and gives Mr. Woolf's POB in Wa.
Wow, I just googled Mr. Woolf and he was a pretty neat person who passed away in 1992. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_Woolf. From reading the book I thought he would be a bohemian type but he was a WWII vet with an interesting background. I wish I had been with my friend when he met him. ( )
