I am a collection of oddities, a circus of neurons and electrons: my
heart is the ringmaster, my soul is the trapeze artist, and the world is my
audience. It sounds strange because it is, and it is, because I am strange.
After the sudden collapse of her family, Mim Malone is dragged from her
home in northern Ohio to the “wastelands” of Mississippi, where she lives
in a medicated milieu with her dad and new stepmom. Before the dust has a
chance to settle, she learns her mother is sick back in Cleveland.
So she ditches her new life and hops aboard a northbound Greyhound bus to
her real home and her real mother, meeting a quirky cast of fellow
travelers along the way. But when her thousand-mile journey takes a few
turns she could never see coming, Mim must confront her own demons,
redefining her notions of love, loyalty, and what it means to be sane.
Told in an unforgettable, kaleidoscopic voice, MOSQUITOLAND is a modern
American odyssey, as hilarious as it is heartbreaking.
