In Zerocuse we follow Jimmy who’s lost his family and his sense of home as he heads back to his twenty-year high school reunion to reconnect with … something, anything. He finds an unexpected cast of characters from his old high school whose names he can’t remember, his first girlfriend, and his old buddy Hogan  – now sober – who’s as cool as ever. Both elegiac and lighthearted, Zerocuse is a multi-layered story about the relative value of nostalgia, the unreliability of memory, and the power of reconnection.

Billy Mungovan was born and raised in Syracuse, NY. He attended the University of New Hampshire where he majored in English and later attended the Bread Loaf School of English graduate program at Middlebury College. At age 24 he abandoned his plans to be an English professor and fiction writer to pursue a career in technology, so this book is sort of a result of all that. He received an Executive MBA from the University of San Francisco in 2006 and currently lives in Salt Lake City with his wife and two sons. This is his first novel.
