TOM LOMBARDITom Lombardi's essay, "The Sinful Son," was featured in the New York Times Magazine. His writing has also appeared in McSweeney's, Fence, Nerve, and elsewhere. My Summer on Earth is his first novel. He lives in Los Angeles. FEATURED TITLE Many teenagers complain about feeling alienated, but for Clint it's his reality. Clint is a sixteen-year-old alien disguised as a human -- and a fairly outspoken, foulmouthed alien at that. He's got an important mission to complete, but, like a typical teenager, Clint gets a bit distracted when he gets here. This distraction's name is Zoe, and Clint has an overwhelming urge to experience earthling love with her, if he could only figure out how. My Summer on Earth takes a wacky look at human culture, boasting a sci-fi, absurdist humor reminiscent of Douglas Adams's The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
