DBC Pierre’s Vernon God Little is a biting satire of modern society, media sensationalism, and small-town America. Told through the sharp, irreverent voice of Vernon, a teenage boy caught in the aftermath of a school shooting, the novel is both darkly humorous and deeply unsettling. While the humor and pacing won’t appeal to everyone, Pierre’s vivid prose and bold storytelling make it a compelling, thought-provoking read.
