Time, The Universe, And America... In a country a lot like our own, in a time a little bit like now, Bibi Brown is an ordinary young man with an extraordinary destiny. Bibi, the first male in twelve generations of Browns not to have taken his own life, has a furious crush on a beautiful nine-fingered woman and an unbearable urge to understand the meaning of Time, the Universe, and America. So Bibi begins his quest--careening through a world of bizarre cults, gravity-defying crones, and lunatics of every stripe--all for a chance to meet his long-lost uncle Otto, a legendary junk-dealer who lives on the Hope Valley Hubcap Ranch. Because in a world that is spinning a little too fast, and a little too wildly, Bibi’s destiny is to find the essence of hope, the beauty of hubcaps, and the meaning of life in the Valley of the Hubcap King.... With a touch of Candide, a dash of Don Quixote, and healthy dose of Zen, Sean Murphy’s wondrous, riotous novel is the story of an ordinary man searching through a hilariously off-kilter world--for the truths that might just save us all.

Murphy presents a vision of an America gone off the rails: a place where it literally rains cats and dogs, where a hubcap ranch is now a National Preservation Site, where a horde of circus folk and Elvis fans are on the rampage--and where some rather suspicious things are going on with time and gravity.

Following the success of his wildly popular debut novel, Sean Murphy returns with a hip, imaginative, and slyly comedic tale set amidst a West Coast world of wildfires and wannabes, hipsters and heavy smog—offering a wry, rollicking look at love, the literati, and Southern California. Frank, a penniless and hapless writer, has nothing to show for himself but an unfinished novel and an unclear future. So when he bumps into Max—an arrogant former classmate who is a terrible, but successful, author—Frank agrees to take up residence in his garage apartment. After all, a glimpse at the inner workings of Max's glittering life will provide great material for his book. Soon, Frank is swept up in a world of glossy cocktail parties, nouveau-wealth, and near-celebrity—as well as a passionate love affair with Max's beautiful wife. And although his nemesis possesses everything Frank desires, he remains secure in his sense of artistic superiority—until Max's latest work heralds him as one of the great new voices in American literature. Seething with envy, Frank sets out to uncover the true source of his newfound talent and gets a lot more than he bargained for. Told in Murphy's distinctive, tongue-in-cheek style, this is a lively and engaging book that will appeal to Murphy's established fans and win him new ones.?

"Sean Murphy returns with a tale that introduces an utterly captivating hero: struggling writer Frank Matthews. Newly arrived in L.A., Frank is toiling in obscurity when he bumps into an old classmate on the Malomar pier. Max Peterson is arrogant, blustering - a remarkably untalented writer whose latest pulp fiction effort, City of Breasts, has Hollywood calling. And besides six-figure advances, Max has something else Frank desperately wants: his exquisite wife, Magee." "Burning with envy. Frank agrees to take up residence in Max's garage apartment, and as he's swept into Max and Magee's world of nouveau wealth and near-celebrity, something extraordinary happens...with Max conveniently out of town, Frank can't help prying into his old friend's journals and diaries. And what happens next will reveal the astonishing secret to Max's newfound talent...and the truth about the great American novel that could be the biggest illusion of all."--BOOK JACKET.
