Publisher’s
Weekly says, “A gallery of grotesques slogs through the sewers of the
entertainment industry toward redemption in this exhilarating debut novel...”
Kirkus Reviews says, “Profane on its surface, ethical at its core, and always fun, this debut marks the arrival of an important comic talent,”
And perhaps most eloquently, the Los Angeles Times says, “Ferguson takes you to the abyss and then shows you the stars. He delivers the dirty news, but in a way that makes you feel cleaner for having been told the truth. His style and subject matter are so engrossing that even if you prefer more conventional storytelling, you’ll gladly follow him into a world where the calendar gets tossed because, as he puts it, “[t]ime is only linear for engineers and referees.”
The book you’ve been hearing about everywhere
from the CBS' Early Show to The New York Times is BETWEEN
THE BRIDGE AND THE RIVER, the debut novel from Craig Ferguson, host of The
Late Late Show.
In this novel, 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 in this novel.
BETWEEN THE BRIDGE AND THE RIVER is bawdy, joyous, messy, hysterically
funny, and guaranteed to offend (regardless of religion, race, national
origin, sexual orientation, or profession). Read
the first chapter and our exclusive Q&A with Ferguson in this excerpt:
