Soulful, gritty, and hilarious, Cannibals in Love is the debut book from a striking new voice in fiction, and a manifesto for the technology that came of age at the dawn of the 21st hundred years. Mike is about to graduate from university and inherit a world much different from the one he was guaranteed. THE EARTH Trade Centre towers have just fallen, the Beltway Sniper terrorizes the nation's capital, and a polarizing chief executive pushes forward a dubious war. Informed in 18 vignettes, Mike's misadventures start in Washington, DC, and span Brooklyn, Portland, and Austin as he takes up arms with the overeducated, underemployed millennials who encompass him. Nursing writerly ambitions, he works a series of humiliating careers - keeping track of lampposts, writing spam e-mails, babysitting a teenage guy - while composing a 1000 web page book about cows as an allegory for the invasion of Iraq. And at the center of the publication resides a tumultuous, excited love story which could come up only between two people with nil to lose. Just like a carefully assembled mixtape, Cannibals in Love weaves tender moments and summer months idylls with violent past due nights and the frustrations of any technology. From delirious off-track betting to a fateful walk across Kansas, Mike Roberts needs us into the guts of masculinity and personality in the age of the Internet, and joins an rising band of young authors who are redefining the contemporary novel.
