Britt & Jimmy Strike Out
A Novel
“Despite its intimations of the near-future, this novel feels like a piece of the year we already live in, a moment when a nation of digitally bombarded “citizen-consumers” find themselves sold into bondage. Stephan Salisbury’s vision is focused and clear. His Pynchonesque, take-no-prisoners satire, coupled with startling wordplay, consistently astounds the reader. Britt & Jimmy Strike Out is the first great novel of the Trump Era.” —Ken Kalfus, author of A Disorder Peculiar to the Country and Equilateral
“This is a dark and deeply cautionary dystopian novel of extrapolation. But wait, come back — this is also a vivid, ingenious, and very funny novel.” — Philadelphia Inquirer

“Salisbury forces us to question our values as Americans, our national security and cherished freedoms. His is a book about the nature of fear – what it gives us license to do and say, how it colors our understanding of entire groups of people.” —Angilee Shah, Zocalo Public Square
