Caddie Esoterica

To the New Ur Country Club, on unenchanted Corpus Elvi Island, arrives Carl, a caddie, to record his passage through this strangest of seasons. Carl stands witness to rain, rape, horrific bunker play, and a great caddie effort to win and bury the body of a fallen friend. Autumn is denied. Following summer comes a super-tropical season: wood and wild reclaim the course, and golf devolves to survival bloodsport.

Irreverent and comedic, crazed and lucid, lofty and lowly: from the shadowland between madness and genius comes Caddie Esoterica, a fractal seaspray of style, theme, texture and tone, and unlike any novel you will ever read.

"It will leave you gasping like... a lungfish in the muck."
-Castor Spurgines, "The Postformalist Review of Books"

"**** (highest rating) ...invectively inventive, laconically iconoclastic.... Gaddis meets Borges, breaks his glasses and steals his wallet."
-Claudia Vega-Reyes, "Auntie Dee's Constructionalism Quarterly"

"A semiotic tour-de-force for the post-Derrida lifeworld. Read it and be beautiful."
-Herman U. Dix, "The Iowa Tractor and Manure Supplement"
