Suburban regular guy Earl Keese confronts the yawning pit of chaos in the persons of Harry and Ramona, a younger couple who have just moved into the only other house on their dead-end street. Literally overnight, Earl's painstakingly controlled world is turned upside down. Soon he is engaged in guerilla warfare with his new neighbors, who seem to threaten the very fabric of his carefully constructed reality.
Thomas Berger is the author of twenty-three novels. His previous novels include Best Friends, Meeting Evil, and The Feud, which was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize. His Little Big Man is known throughout the world.
"A wonderfully funny and mysterious book."
-- The New York Times Book Review
"A flawlessly crafted morality play constructed out of the most subtle minutiae of perception and expressionÆas if Henry James had written Waiting for Godot."
-- The Nation
"Neighbors offers a version of reality skewed just enough to give paranoia a good name."
-- Time
