You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 34.205.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:44, 30 September 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''''Boonville''''' is a novel by [[Robert Mailer Anderson]]. It was published by Creative Arts Book Company (in association with ''[[Zyzzyva (magazine)|Zyzzyva]]'' magazine, as a "''Zyzzyva'' First Novel") in 2001, then reprinted by [[HarperCollins]] in 2003. It is a San Francisco Chronicle Best Seller<ref>((cite web |title=San Francisco Chronicle Best-Sellers |date=16 February 2003 |url=https://www.sfchronicle.com/books/article/San-Francisco-Chronicle-Best-Sellers-2669572.php))</ref> and was called one of the "Top 10 Literary Events of 2001."

==Accolades==
"It's the funniest first novel by an American writer to come my way since John Kennedy Toole's ''A Confederacy of Dunces.''" -Jonathan Yardley, ''Washington Post''

"A sardonic and beautifully imagined first novel...pages of well-tuned humor...[with] an exemplary eye for emotional detail." -''San Francisco Weekly''

"A brilliant new voice-twitchy, corny, sly, cackling, and sad, but most of all, racing with vitality and goosing you to keep up. ''Boonville'' is the creepy and hilarious coming-of-age story the territory deserves-not your parents' ''Vineland,'' but your own." -Jonathan Lethem

"A very sick man-and a very funny writer." -Carl Hiaasen

==Synopsis==
The novel tells the story of John Gibson, as he breaks up with his girlfriend and leaves [[Miami, Florida]] to move to the small town of [[Boonville, California]], where he meets the resident of a commune, Sarah McKay. The book portrays the town in an often comedic manner, bringing to life a number of colorful [[Mendocino County]] residents including [[hippie]]s, [[Redneck (stereotype)|rednecks]], [[feminism|feminists]], and commercial [[cannabis (drug)|marijuana]] cultivation.

==Author comments==
Anderson states in the book's preface, "So, any of the local residents who can read, and do read this novel, and take offense at the descriptions or content, instead of sucker-punching me while I'm in town trying to buy groceries with my wife and son, let me just buy you a drink and we'll call it even. As for the hippies in the county who may be upset at the depiction of hippies, I say, 'Tough shit, hippie.'"
