Jesse Bullington: IMG Abash'd the Devil Stood



I don't believe in evil. It's a word I use, certainly, because words are shortcuts and we all take the short way round from time to time, but that's... Continue »

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Bawdy, joyous, messy, hysterically funny, and guaranteed to offend regardless of religion, race, national origin, sexual orientation, or profession Between the Bridge and the River is the debut novel by Craig Ferguson, host of CBS's The Late Late Show. Two childhood friends from Scotland and two illegitimate half-brothers from the American South suffer and enjoy all manner of bizarre experiences which, as it turns out, are somehow interconnected and, surprisingly enough, meaningful. An eclectic cast of characters includes Carl Jung, Fatty Arbuckle, Virgil, Marat, Socrates, and Tony Randall. Love, greed, hope, revenge, organized religion, and Hollywood are alternately tickled and throttled. Impossible to summarize and impossible to stop reading, this is a romantic comic odyssey that actually delivers and rewards.

Synopsis:

A gallery of characters make their way through the underbelly of the entertainment industry toward redemption in this exhilarating debut novel from the host of "The Late Late Show." Ferguson pokes good-natured fun at the media, pop culture, religion, and, of course, his native Scotland.

Craig Ferguson surprised me -- I was prepared to find his novel another example of a Hollywood star capitalizing on fame and writing garbage. What a shocker!! I was entralled and read this book in 24 hours -- devoured it and wrapped myself up in the story and the characters. There is certainly some parody here, but it is ultimately about a spiritual journey and awakening, but it is both touching and fraught with the humor: not an easy feat. It's great because it's so unexpected.
