Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description:
ÂNersesianâs extravagantly imagined dystopia reliesÂas did those in Philip Rothâs Plot Against America and Michael Chabonâs Yiddish Policemenâs UnionÂon an alternate, counterfactual history.âÂThe New York Times Book Review
ÂCombining sci-fi space/time-warping, Unabomber-style political ranting and an overall air of goose-bump paranoia, this is one turbo-charged trip. . . . A sharp, strange read: Imagine William Burroughs and Philip K. Dick sharing a needle.âÂKirkus Reviews
ÂBrilliant.âÂTime Out New York
Arthur Nersesianâs six previous novels (including The Fuck-Up, MTV/Pocket Books, which has sold over 100,000 copies) have focused on the tragicomedy of fin de siècle New York City. Here, in his boldest novel to date, Nersesian has broken through into a new landscape that at once fuses the real with the surreal, the psychological with the psychedelic. He lives in New York City.
