Wow — I’m so grateful to Joseph Houlihan for his review of Big Giant Floating Head in the new Rain Taxi Review of Books. Mr Houlihan calls me “the next Kafka of the American Idyll,” and says that the novel “captures the precariousness of striving towards intimacy and security in contemporary America.” Click here to order the issue!

I’m saying a big giant floating thank-you to the universe on the publication day of my new novel, Big Giant Floating Head. Please click here to read more about the novel that Jonathan Lethem calls “heartbreaking and hilarious in the manner of Brautigan and Flann O’Brien, or a Krazy Kat comic redrawn by M.C. Escher” and Mona Awad hails as “hilarious, dark and stunningly surreal.”
