Welcome to Fizzle, an isolated, backward place teeming with
crisis. It is a nation like none other on Earth, and to survive in
it, citizens have developed a state of mind equally unmatched.
With an antic group of revolutionaries on a quest for truth
(more or less), the termination of a great warrior caste, and a
pair of exiled lovers, twinned in ambition (one has discovered the
urge to write a beautiful, sublime poem, and the other desires to
avoid hearing it), Fizzle is a state of constant flux. Add to the
mix a 500-year-old murder mystery, an offended comet aiming for
vengeance, and an overseeing deity who delights in human
bewilderment, and you have the key ingredients of author Kevin
Mulligan's visionary novel, "The Envy of Topshelf."
A 1,200-year-old monarchy has recently collapsed, and the result
is two decades of civil chaos, toggling between the comic and the
tragic. Just when the political leadership thinks it has finally
achieved stability, havoc cries out for second helpings.
"The Envy of Topshelf" is literary farce with an epic scope,
Swiftian outlandishness infused with slapstick urgency.
