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.”

—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.”
