Description
'Vernon God Little' é um romance audaz, magistralmente equilibrado entre o quase tabu da violência escolar e o ritmo acelerado da ficção pós-moderna. Ao desenvolver personagens e narrativa, Pierre parodia a cultura americana, sem nunca cruzar a tênue linha da caricatura. O próprio protagonista emerge, aqui, como bastião do amor, da verdade e da sabedoria em um mundo cada vez mais louco. O adolescente Vernon Gregory, com pouco mais de 15 anos, língua ferina e sarcasmo abundante, narra a trama, com uma tirada inteligente para cada cidadão obcecado por dieta. Sua mãe, que espera indefinidamente pela entrega de um novo refrigerador, parece existir apenas para esfaqueá-lo, emocionalmente, pelas costas. Sua melhor amiga, Palmyra, estrutura a vida em torno da próxima refeição. E o oficial Vaine Gurie está convencido de sua cumplicidade nos assassinatos, pouco se importando se Vernon perdeu o melhor amigo, Jesus Navarro, no tiroteio.
