Readers of , Tex Gresham's brilliant new novel, will probably find themselves thinking of and But in truth, is something else, a beast with its own distinct brand of madness. Bluntly satirical of Trump-era politics, takes you on an acid trip disguised as a conspiracy theory, working with equal skill in realist, absurdist, and metafictional modes to make sure you're lost in a funhouse you won't want to leave. In Gresham's fictional universe, the world might end while you're watching a movie about the end of the world, and maybe you wrote the script or maybe your double wrote the script, and even if the theater is filled with people who won't hesitate to blow your brains out if you laugh at all the wrong moments, it won't make any difference, since the book is filled with all the right moments. --Stephen-Paul Martin, author of -Vi Khi Nao, author of --Dan Eastman, author of --Lindsay Lerman, author of --Philip Elliot, author of --Alan Smithee, legendary Hollywood direct
