(1) YA Alien "vuvv" have colonized America's economy, land, and airspace, resulting in pollution, poverty, and illness. Narrator Adam hopes to save his family by winning the vuvv art competition--he knows they prefer bland still lifes, but he can't prevent himself from painting honestly, with dark realism. Anderson's prose is hyper-lucid; practically every word reflects a bitingly precise critique of contemporary human folly, of economic and environmental inequities and absurdities.
