BLACK & WHITE EDITION "The single brilliantly funny voice of
something genuinely new." -Walter Benn Michaels, author of The Gold
Standard and the Logic of Naturalism and The Shape of the
Signifier: 1967 to the End of History "In fiction of this sort,
there is huge pressure on the line-by-line life of the prose.
Happily, it is in the energy and inventiveness of its language that
this novel is most alive. Because that is what the work is finally
about, that wonderful redundancy we call "art," showing us once
again...the way from death to life." - Curtis White, American Book

Walter Benn Michaels, American literary theorist, and author of The
Shape of the Signifier: 1967 to the End of History "It is a

inventions of the language itself." - Curtis White, American Book
