About This Book:

Title: Nog

Other Available Formats:
Paperback, 1996

Synopsis
A cult-classic psychedelic artifact of the 1960s, NOG is a stylistic experiment in the vein of William Burroughs, Hunter S. Thompson, or Donald Barthelme. With no identifiable plot, and a disembodied, and presumably drug-addled, narrator, NOG lives and breathes in the life of its brilliant absurdist sentences.

Industry Reviews
"A strange, singular book...somewhere between Psychedelic Superman and Samuel Beckett...full of classic, post-existential nausea. Despite (because of) the silence, the immobility, the slippery but thoroughly suffused sensuality, the book is an accomplishment."
"The most original, exciting, and talented new novel since Thomas Pynchon's V."
"[I]ts combo of Samuel Beckett syntax and hippie-era freakiness mapped out new literary territory for generations to come....Intense and scary, Wurlitzer's stun-gun prose exerts a mysterious control, even when it's in the midst of a psychotic break, or cataloguing objects on the floor."
