While at Big Stupid Review, be sure to check Jim Chaffee’s Studies in Mathematical Pornography. A direct blow to the hippocampus, a shock to the central nervous — not for the squeamish or weak of heart/mind… Highly recommended!

THE NEWS CLOWN here is here! Check the amazing cover.

Equus Press is releasing Thor’s epic THE NEWS CLOWN, and it comes in at more than 160,000 words and nearly 500 pages. Says the publisher: “Thor Garcia’s monumental iconoclastic novel, News Clown, was a finalist in the 2009 Amazon.com Breakthrough Novel Award. Publishers Weekly, which read the book for the contest, said: “Fueled by prodigious amounts of alcohol and tobacco, sex and drugs, this narrative skips along from one bizarre episode to the next in the tortuous life of Thor, a young man whose dreams of a literary career have been sidetracked into an undemanding job as a ‘news clown’ for a small wire service in the crime-infested back alleys of Bay City. Meanwhile, as Thor struggles with his inner demons, the national news clowns are cheering on President Wolfgang G. Mnung as he threatens a Middle Eastern dictator who may have stockpiled ‘as many as 4,000 PlayStation video game units’ from which, according to sources, he might fashion a crude supercomputer to control weapons of untold devastation. A flashy, satirical style keeps the narrative fresh, entertaining and eminently readable throughout.”

It appears Thor is back, and THE BOOK OF THE CENTURY IS HERE

TUND on Prague Post ‘Summer Reading Favorites’ List!

eddie — Mon, 08 Aug 2011 01:58:04 +0000

The Prague Post recommends TUND on its new summer reading list. The review enthuses: “This is rollicking prose of the Beat variety that seems to move forward of its own volition, telling of roadtrippers, office workers, miscreants of several varieties and ordinary folk. Garcia is a prose stylist, at times stringing out long, prose-poetic sentences that pull the reader along like a runaway Chevy, and at times slowing down the pacing, writing in short, choppy sentences that add level upon level to descriptions and the thought processes of his narrators.”

NEW! Thor’s classic TUND out on Litteraria Pragensia Books!

Buy TUND here now!

Says the publisher: “By turns defiant, paranoid, brooding, absurd and knock-down funny, Thor Garcia’s TUND is a startling creation. Peopled by a galaxy of fringe operators and hoodlums, tattered no-hopers and doom-drenched true believers, sadistic children and tormented hooch hounds — and not least, a girl called Spoogeface — TUND is a swirling landscape of meltdowns, terrifying visions and punch-drunk epiphanies. Irreverent and iconoclastic, it probes the desolation and cruelties, desperation and contradictions, the hazards and hoopla, of life in an unstable and emotionally crippled age. Brimming with riotous panache, anarchic soul and sinewy, exultant writing, TUND is sure to stimulate and dazzle.”
