This is an automatically translated description

This is a fascinating, poignant and funny story of a fifteen-year-old teenager about a terrible adventure in which he is drawn by fate and his closest friend. As a result of a curious coincidence, the protagonist finds himself in the dock under the threat of the death penalty for dozens of murders, none of which he committed. Left alone with his misfortune, empty wallet and wild youthful imagination, our hero makes no less paradoxical decisions.

In the image of Vernon Little, BBC's Peele managed to combine brutality, teenage sexuality, humour and a remarkable fragility of worldview in a surprising way, making the reader sincerely care about the fate of his character despite all the ambiguity and imperfection of his character and actions.

This is a story about the complete eclipse of common sense by television content, about the prevailing values of consumer society, about the readiness of a small person to commit any betrayal for fame and recognition. It is a story about human dreams and the desperate pursuit of happiness. It is seasoned with a selective caustic humour, deviant vocabulary and penetrating, sensual imagery.

In 2003, GQ magazine named Vernon Gregory Little's heartbreaking adventures one of the world's 100 best books, and the novel one of the brightest, most daring, and most bizarre debuts of the 21st century.
