Vernon God Little is an amazing book, my favourite, written by DBC Pierre.
It's a hilarious satirical commentary on American culture and excess and such.
Vernon has a friend, a mexican gay kid named Jesus. The gay jokes go too far, Jesus shoots 16 kids then himself, and the small texan town of Martirio, which i don't know if it's real or not.
Well the town brands Vernon the scapegoat and i can't go into depth without giving anything away, but the plot is as ingenious as it is twisted. Please read this. check your library yo.
He runs to mexico ;)
