Gun Violence in America

By: Kobek, Jarett

An incendiary novel holding a mirror to American consumption of violence and online life.

What does a livestream of a mass shooting, the Islamic State, the suburban hellscape of Southern California, and Jon Hamm's cock have in common? Internationally bestselling author Jarett Kobek (Atta, I Hate the Internet) has a shocking, hilarious answer.

Gun Violence in America is a provocative new novel about cameras and guns, Los Angeles and the Islamic State, spectacle and slaughter. Told in the second person, you are the mass shooter, the mujahid, the paparazzo: avatars of masculine brutality broadcasting sleek and gruesome death to millions online.

Savage, wildly funny, and unnervingly perceptive, Gun Violence in America knows that violence no longer needs a motive, only a camera. Everyone just wants to be seen. Especially you.
