Description: Termite Parade, Paperback by Mohr, Joshua, ISBN 098201516X, ISBN-13 9780982015162, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Termite Parade is the follow-up to Joshua Mohr's San Francisco Chronicle bestselling first novel - and one of O, The Oprah Magazine's `10 Terrific Reads of 2009' - Some Things That Meant the World to Me. "Termite Parade takes the reader to precincts of the human psyche that even Celine would have thought twice about visiting. This is bold, chilling stuff. Hubert Selby, Jr. Would have been proud." John Waray "The prose is oddly lovely [with] a frenzied climax that calls for a tumbler of whiskey." Publishers weekly Termite Parade tosses the concepts of guilt, responsibility, and self preservation under a microscope and throws the whole shebang in a blender, spinning an imaginative tale as only Joshua Mohr could muster. "Mothr's prose roams with chimerical liquidity." Boston's Weekly Dig Termite Parade tells the story of Mired, the self-described "bastard daughter of a menage a trois between Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Sylvia Plath, and Eeyore." Mired catalogs her "museum of emotional failures," the latest entry to which is her boyfriend Derek, an auto mechanic (whose body may or may or may not be infested with termites), who loses his cool carrying her up the stairs to their apartment. As Derek's termites wreak havoc on his nervous system, Mired pieces together the puzzle, each character revealing aspects of their savage natures, culminating in a climax of pure animal chaos. Along the way, there's a moustached softball team of misanthropes, Mired's Mt. Rushmore of Male Failures, and armed robberies videotaped for vicarious thrills.
