The Big W

When a Wal-Mart the size of Texas rolls into a sleepy Appalachian town, Coop Elmore loses everything-his job, his land, and even his wife (who runs off with the regional manager).

Stranded in the store's endless parking lot, Coop teeters between despair and delirium until inspiration strikes: if Wal-Mart is the heart of modern America, then he's going to be its cardiac arrest.

Taking a job inside the fluorescent belly of the beast, Coop plots to bring the Big W down from within. Coop soon finds that taking on Wal-Mart might be the funniest, strangest, and most hopeless war ever fought.

A biting satire of consumer culture, small-town survival, and the absurdity of the American dream, The Big W is a comic masterpiece for anyone who has ever been lost in the aisles.
