This book surely has one of the all-time attention-getting titles of recently written books. It is a strangely entertaining, off-beat, comic psychological mystery narrated by a man named Sam Pulsifer who, as the story begins, has just gotten out of prison having been convicted of setting Emily Dickinson's house on fire and accidently killing two people who happened to be in the house. One by one, homes of famous authors in New England are burned down, and Sam finds himself blamed (framed, perhaps) for the arson events. Sam attempts to find out who is behind the new blazes and also finds something out about himself. A very well written, clever, funny and unusual book.
