Welcome to the Great American Graffiti Novel Number one "New York Times "bestselling author Adam Mansbach returns with a blockbuster tale of revenge, redemption, and the world s most beautiful crime. Dondi Vance is the son of two famous graffiti artists from New York City s golden era of subway bombing. Recently kicked out of his prestigious prep school for selling weed and his mother s Brooklyn apartment for losing his scholarship he s couch-surfing his way through life, compulsively immune to rumors that his long-lost father, Billy Rage, has returned after sixteen years on the lam. But Dondi s old man really is back what s left of him, that is. A wizened shell of his former self, Billy is still reeling from a psychic attack by an angry sha-man in the Amazon basin when Dondi finds him at the top of a pseudo-magical staircase in DUMBO. The uneasy reunion comes just in time: Anastacio Bracken, the transit cop who ruined Billy s life and shattered his crew back in 1987, is running for mayor. Only by rallying the forgotten writers of the eighties for an epic, game-changing mission can Billy and Dondi bring Bracken down. In this mind-bending journey through a subterranean world of epic heroes, villains, and eccentrics, Adam Mansbach balances an intricately plotted, high-stakes caper with a wildly inventive tale of time travel and shamanism, prodigal fathers and sons, and the hilariously intertwined realms of art, crime, and spirituality. Moving throughout New York City s unseen communities, from the tunnel camps of the Mole People to the drug dens of Crown Heights, "Rage Is Back "is a kaleidoscopic tour de force from a writer at the top of his game."
