The Bellybutton Fiasco

This is the novel the publishing industry was afraid to publish. The twisted, sort-of-true story of Toby, a freewheeling ten-something with too much time on his hands, The Bellybutton Fiasco forces us to confront-for, like, the fifth time-What Has Happened To Our Children? Not that many novels have the courage to attack the Loch Ness Monster myth, nor the poetic accuracy to describe its characters’ dreams. The Bellybutton Fiasco has this, and so, so much more. It promises to be the most important novel you’ll read this year, or the most important novel you’ll read while reading it. Filled with insight, heart-warming candor, and necrophilic subliminal imagery, The Bellybutton Fiasco is a novel. A fictional novel.
