Some critics habitually bestow it on the sort of book that they may find interesting, but feel will best be appreciated by cooler, hipper and more rebellious souls than themselves and their peers. If one book is certainly destined for at least cult status, it's Texan writer Craig Clevenger's excellent debut novel, The Contortionist's Handbook.
