A History of the World for Rebels and Somnambulists

by Jesus del Campo, Catherine Mansfield (Translator)

Overview

From the beginning of the world—when God created Audrey Hepburn, the guilt complex, and worker ants—to the end, broadcast live on a TV chat show, A History of the World for Rebels and Somnambulists whips through our tortuous past with the deftness of a surgeon’s scalpel.

Jonah confronts a ship of Norwegian whalers, Little Red Riding Hood gets drunk with the wolf, and Bob Dylan loses his shadow. It is a history unlike any other: at once sinister, alarming, and breathlessly funny.

Jesus del Campo was born in Gijón, Spain. He is a translator, traveler, and doctor of philosophy. His other books include a novel about Snow White.
