<DIV><p>&ldquo;Nersesian&rsquo;s extravagantly imagined dystopia relies&mdash;as did those in Philip Roth&rsquo;s <i>Plot Against America </i>and Michael Chabon&rsquo;s <i>Yiddish Policemen&rsquo;s Union</i>&mdash;on an alternate, counterfactual history.&rdquo;&mdash;<i>The New York Times Book Review</i></p><p>&ldquo;Combining sci-fi space/time-warping, Unabomber-style political ranting and an overall air of goose-bump paranoia, this is one turbo-charged trip. . . . A sharp, strange read: Imagine William Burroughs and Philip K. Dick sharing a needle.&rdquo;&mdash;<i>Kirkus Reviews</i></p><p>&ldquo;Brilliant.&rdquo;&mdash;<i>Time Out New York</i></p><p><b>Arthur Nersesian</b>&rsquo;s six previous novels (including <i>The Fuck-Up</i>, MTV/Pocket Books, which has sold over 100,000 copies) have focused on the tragicomedy of fin de si&#232;cle New York City. Here, in his boldest novel to date, Nersesian has broken through into a new landscape that at once fuses the real with the surreal, the psychological with the psychedelic. He lives in New York City.</p></DIV>
