The Last Novel
DAVID MARKSON
“Just when one had started mourning the demise of avant-garde and postmodern fiction . . . here comes David Markson’s latest ‘novel’ which is anything but a novel in any conventional sense of the term. Yet it manages to keep us enthralled . . . and even moved to tears at the end. And what a thrill it is to witness the performance, a real tour de force.”

Waterbaby
CHRIS MAZZA
“Shipwrecks, doomed lovers, family secrets, sea-babies, toilet-babies, and historical-reenactment sex are but a few of the facets of this deftly kaleidoscopic novel. Mazza shows us how, through resuscitating our pasts, and rescuing each other, we might just save ourselves.”
—Alex Shakar
“Chris Mazza pierces the heart of this big-hearted novel, the pitch-perfect tale of an all-American family in gothic and comic splendor.”
