Fiction. JONAH SEES GHOSTS is a shocking, touching, and humorous debut novel that blends magical realism with a figurative study of the ways alcohol abuse shapes the personalities within a family. "Mark Sullivan takes a `lovers' quarrel with the world' into the beyond. Beset with the visions of a Bosch, and the honesty of a Henry Miller, his young protagonist faces the twenty-first century in bewilderment. Jonah, with the heart of a transcendentalist, travels out of body in a spirit world full of meanies and walking corpses and brings a report of redemption back to the land of the living"--John Rolfe Gardiner. "Mark Sullivan writes with beautiful, introspective clarity. In young Jonah, he captures perfectly the conviction that only the young have"--Henry Rollins.
