Small town America tears itself apart in this realist novel from one of the greats of science fiction.

Leo Runcible—of Runcible Realty—is too excitable and too pushy. His wife drinks too much. He may be a man of principle, but Liberal Jewish Leo is an outsider in the lily-white Carquinez, Marin County.

When he gets into a pointless argument with a customer over his neighbour Walt Dombrosio's house guests, the resulting ramifications follow a bizarre logic of cause and effect to lead in entirely unexpected directions...

And can Leo really have found the skull of a Neanderthal man in middle America?

The Man Whose Teeth Were All Exactly Alike is a dazzling novel by a writer famous for his power to surprise and delight.
