Valley of Day-Glo

By Nick DiChario

Book Overview

Broadway Danny Rose is on the move

In this brightly satiric, postapocalyptic novel of the far future, a young Indian brave named Broadway Danny Rose embarks upon a quest across the desolate planet Earth to find the mysterious Valley of Day-Glo, where plants and animals and large bodies of water are rumoured to still exist, and where, according to legend, death becomes life."

Valley of Day-Glo is a brilliant blend of Douglas Adams' farcical humour and Kurt Vonnegut's droll absurdity. Hugo Award-nominee Nick DiChario delivers a witty and poignant story that deals with the power of myth, the search for truth, and the meaning of life and death.

Customer Reviews

A lot of fun!

A back cover blurb that compares this story to Vonnegut mixed with Douglas Adams is right on target. I loved this book. It was page after page of funny, post modern satire poking fun at everything from popular film titles to multi-level marketing in a wacky post-apocalyptic romp. Imaginative, bizarre and an absurdly unforgettable story. I wish I hadn't read it so I could read it for the first time again!
