   Additional Information  
 
  A first novel.

Imagine Lewis Carroll, Julian Jaynes, and Thomas Pynchon collaborating on a book about the cosmological quest of a five-hundred-foot-tall mutated monitor lizard and his friend, Coma Boy, an amnesiac survivor of the Hiroshima bomb blast. Well, forget it, you're never going to see those writers working together. Thankfully, Mark Jacobson took this task upon his own true self. Jacobson's GOJIRO is a wild and humorous fairytale about the Atomic age, about a terrifying world redeemed by love, friendship, the survival instinct, and a willingness to break down old inventions for new parts.
