The New And Improved Romie Futch by Julia Elliott

In this satirical and thought-provoking novel, a down-and-out taxidermist from South Carolina undergoes an experimental brain enhancement procedure, transforming him into a hyper-intelligent version of himself. As he grapples with his newfound intellect, he embarks on a quest to win back his ex-wife and solve the mystery of a genetically modified boar terrorizing the local woods. The story deftly explores themes of identity, technology, and the human condition, all while blending humor and poignant social commentary.
