Publisher's Summary:

Soulful, gritty, and hilarious, Cannibals in Love is the debut novel from a bold new voice in fiction, and a manifesto for the generation that came of age at the dawn of the 21st century.

Mike is about to graduate from college and inherit a world much different from the one he was promised. The World Trade Center towers have just fallen, the Beltway Sniper terrorizes the nation's capital, and a polarizing president pushes forward a dubious war. Told in 18 vignettes, Mike's misadventures begin in Washington, DC, and span Brooklyn, Portland, and Austin as he takes up arms with the overeducated, underemployed millennials who surround him. Nursing writerly ambitions, he works a series of humiliating jobs - counting lampposts, writing spam emails, babysitting a teenage boy - while composing a 1000 page novel about cows as an allegory for the invasion of Iraq. And at the center of the book resides a tumultuous, passionate love story that could arise only between two people with nothing to lose.

Like a carefully assembled mixtape, Cannibals in Love weaves tender moments and summer idylls with violent late nights and the frustrations of a generation. From delirious off-track betting to a fateful walk across Kansas, Mike Roberts takes us into the guts of masculinity and identity in the age of the Internet, and joins an emerging group of young writers who are redefining the contemporary novel.

... wait to shout out to the Amazon world how wonderful it is

Almost finished reading this wondrous debut novel and couldn't wait to shout out to the Amazon world how wonderful it is... I can only give its author my highest praise by begging him to write more (and fast!)... He appears to be young though I'm not so young anymore, lol!

I hated this book

I hated this book. Made it to the end but not sure why. Couldn't stomach millennial angst, especially as main character never achieves any maturity or spiritual growth. Too self indulgent.

Easily the best book I ever read

Easily the best book I ever read. Icey "Mike" Roberts let's you feel the vibe in this gripping story. Written through the eyes of a true visionary, Roberts keeps you hanging on his ever word.

Five Stars

Adds much needed grit to the fiction genre...

This hepcat is in the groooove, man.

This groovy cat can rap man. I'll tell you what. The way he strings together those nouns and verbs, like rattatattat, man.
