Written while the author was a student at Cornell University, Fool on the Hill was published to strong critical acclaim, and has since gone on to achieve cult status as an underground best-seller. As adventurous as the quests of J.R.R. Tolkien and as contemporary as the zany entertainment of Tom Robbins, "Fool on the Hill" is certain to bring laughs and be remembered for a long time to come. The hero is S.T. George, a young writer-in-residence at Cornell, who is looking for love and dragons to slay. Soon George is caught up in an epic struggle of life and death, good and evil, magic and love. This fantastic, inventive novel is proof of Matt Ruff's unparalleled imagination. First published 1988.
