Description

A Johnny Novel is a daring, beautiful book that skirts the surreal while ironicaly inserting itself into the contemporary conflict between knowledge, literature and the body. The different sections of this novel work are three streams that converge to form one flowing river of words that, in the end, whisk the characters away toward an ending as unexpected as it is spectacular.
