Life Among Giants: a Novel Bill Roorbach

This funny, exuberant novel captures the reader with the grand sweep of seven-foot-tall David ?Lizard? Hochmeyer?s larger-than-life quest to unravel the mystery surrounding his parents? deaths. It?s a journey laden with pro football stars, a master chef and his beautiful transvestite lover, a world-famous ballerina and her English rocker husband, and a sister who?s as brilliant as she is unstable. A wildly entertaining, plot-twisting novel of murder, seduction, and revenge--rich in incident, expansive in character, and lavish in setting--Life Among Giants is an exhilarating adventure.
