With film rights acquired by Francis Ford Coppola, this comic novel of instant riches is back in stock. From the author of A Clockwork Orange, One Hand Clapping is a comedy of game shows and greed, high stakes and the high life. The tragi-comedy of used car salesman Howard Shirley, his photographic brain, and the modern world's trivia and trivialities makes for vintage Burgess--at once hilarious and provocative. "Witty and shrewdly joyful."--The New York Times Book Review "A funny, pointed novel."--The New Yorker "Ingeniously and devilishly funny."--The Atlantic Monthly

Each person in a family, a set up or organization is unique, in spite of perceived flaws, real or imaginary. God in His Infinite Wisdom declared all things he created as good. The challenge in every relationship is to seek out what to like in a person, rather than what to hate, and develop this into a kind of monument. God is at the center of all living and he has designed humans to only function properly to the extent that they realize that it is the pool of strength and good that beautifies each person. Just like one stick of broom cannot sweep the floor, our lives are intertwined with that of others, with God having oversight of us all. If it's difficult to clap with one hand, each person we meet represents the other hand, which beauty if we recognize and use would combine with our idle selfish hand to compose a beautiful symphony. The brevity of life has made such a symphony a vital part of living and relationships.

The darkest, most twisted novel yet from the author of Timoleon Vieta Come Home. In a room above a bizarre German museum, and far from the prying eyes of strangers, lives in Old Man. Caretaker by day, by night he enjoys the sound of silence, broken only by the occasional crunch of a spider between his teeth. Little Hands Clapping brings the Old Man together with the respectable Doctor Ernst Frohlicher, his dog Hans and a cast of grotesque and hilarious townsfolk who find themselves involved in a crime so outrageous it will shock the world. From its sinister opening to its explosive denouement, Little Hands Clapping blends lavishly entertaining storytelling with Rhodes's macabre imagination, entrancing originality and magical touch.
