Fiction
Four interlocking narratives set in four American cities
form a richly comic feast about love, academia, an elusive
Tibetan novelist — and SOFA, a protest group so mysterious
its very initials are open to interpretation. Bad Teeth follows a cast of young literary men and women,
each in a period of formation, in four very American cities
— Brooklyn, Bloomington, Berkeley, and Bakersfield. A
Pynchonesque treat, it’s four (or more) books in one: a
bohemian satire, a campus comedy, a stoner’s reverie, and a
quadruple love story. The plots coalesce around the search
for a mysterious author, Jigme Drolma (“the Tibetan David
Foster Wallace”), who might in fact be a plagiarist. But how
does the self-styled arch-magician Nicholas Bendix figure
into this? What will happen when SOFA unleashes the
“Apocalypse”? And what’s to become of Lump, the cat?
