You & Me

<p>Padgett Powell author of the acclaimed <em>The Interrogative Mood</em> and one of the few truly important American writers of our time (Sam Lipsyte) returns with a hilarious Southern send-up of Samuel Beckett's classic <em>Waiting for Godot</em>.</p><p>Truly a master of envelope-pushing post-postmodern American fiction in a class with Nicholas Baker and Lydia Davis Powell brilliantly blends the sublime the trivial and the oddball in <em>You & Me</em> as two loquacious gents on a porch discuss all manner of subjects from the mundane to the spiritual to the downright ridiculous.</p><p>At once outrageously funny and profound <em>You & Me</em> is yet another brilliant boundary-bursting masterwork proving once again that there are few writers who understand both the beauty and the absurdity of language as well as Padgett Powell (Kevin Wilson author of <em>The Family Fang</em>) and that Padgett Powell is one of the best writers in America and one of the funniest too (Ian Frazier).</p><p><em>You & Me: A Novel</em> won the James Tait Black Prize for Fiction.</p>
