Here is an update from hell, and the most brilliant work to date, by the novelist whom Jeffrey Eugenides calls "original, devious, and very funny" and of whose first novel Chuck Palahniuk wrote, "I laughed out loud---and I never laugh out loud."

Then there is the appalling, yet utterly lovable, Lewis Miner, class of '89---a.k.a Teabag---who did not pan out. This is his confession in all its bitter, lovelorn glory. 2115761 1 1 2005 Home Land: A Novel total:598|5:133|4:220|3:169|2:47|1:29| 598 2175 899 128 544046 0312424183 9780312424183 564 122 3.64 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1175660588m/544046.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/544046.Home_Land_A_Novel 5 2 false Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2005 Tue Jun 26 14:53:39 -0700 2007 Tue Jun 26 14:56:18 -0700 2007
