A bitingly funny, smart, and moving street novel about two hapless lost souls - an alcoholic Vietnam veteran turned best-selling writer and his awkward, timid college-student superfan - who form an improbable interconnection on the world's most devastating book tour. Richard Lazar is advancing in years but regressing in life. After a profession as a literary novelist that has ground to a halt and landed him in a truck in Phoenix, Richard is stunned to find immediate success posting a gritty memoir about his service in Vietnam. Sent on the book tour by his publishing house, Richard encounters his biggest (and really only) admirer: an awkward, despondent student named Vance with issues of his own - an absentee daddy, a depressive mom, his own severe shyness. Soon Vance has volunteered to chauffeur Richard for all of those other book tour, and both go on a devastating but often hilarious cross-country trip. When things fail, Richard and Vance forge an improbable relationship between two misanthropes whose mutual insecurities and disdain for the world force both to check out each other and their lives in a far more meaningful way. As they reach the end of the e book tour, The Grand Head to ultimately becomes a moving story of unlikely friendship that should catapult Adam O'Fallon Price into the company of such experts of all-American dyspepsia as Sam Lipsyte, David Gates, and Walter Kirn.
