Be forewarned! This is no "conventional" novel-it's a noirwreck at the intersection of East End Avenue, Dashell Hammett, Thomas Pynchon, Max Ernst's Une Semaine de Bont???, and Firesign Theater's Don't Crush That Dwarf, Hand Me the Pliers-a necrophilological fable that, like most nightmares, is by turns horrifying, hilarious, inexplicable, and mesmerizing.
