Jarett Kobek

Powell's City of Books 1005 W Burnside Street, Portland

You know the rules. If you still want to play the game of American life, then you had better learn to lie. Kneel before false gods. Pretend to care about the ruling class and their illusions. But what if someone had forgotten how to lie? What if they had written a book that destroyed their hopes of a literary career? And what if it was hilarious? Jarett Kobek, author of I Hate the Internet, has written Only Americans Burn in Hell (We Heard You Like Books), the last honest book of your lifetime.
