The new book by Matt Ruff is coming out in July! YAY,

If you have never read any Matt Ruff, you must, go out right now, and pick up a copy of Fool on the Hill. It's one of the most brilliant novels i've ever read.

And then there is his new book, Bad Monkeys..

a quick synopsis

Jane Charlotte: a woman with a serious attitude problem, a drug habit and a licence to kill. She has been arrested for murder, and during questioning tells police that she is a member of a secret organisation devoted to fighting evil. Her division, 'The Department for the Final Disposition of Irredeemable Persons' - or 'Bad Monkeys' for short - is an execution squad that rids the world of especially evil people. However, the man Jane has been arrested for killing was not on the official target list. This strange confession earns Jane a trip to the jail's psychiatric wing, where a doctor interviews her at length about her supposed career as an assassin. Her tale grows increasingly bizarre, with references to hidden messages in crosswords, dollar bills that can see, and axe-wielding Scary Clowns. The doctor does his best to sort truth from lies, but whenever it seems he's getting to the bottom of things, there's another twist to unravel. Not until the full story is told will we learn whether Jane is lying, crazy or playing a different game altogether.

    The Fool on the Hill (his first novel) is classic, Particulary his fictional frat "Tolkien House"

    There are no bad monkeys, only bad monkey owners

    I do highly recomend reading Matt Ruff's books, especially Fool on the Hill, Sewer, Gas, Electric (the public works trilogy) Was good, but not as good as Fool, Bad Monkeys sounds like its going to be great.
