Idiocy, Ltd.

"Idiocy, Ltd." gathers the very best from three decades of Eric Mader's work in the short prose form pioneered by Max Jacob, Daniil Kharms and Russell Edson. Prose poems, flash fiction, fables, brief essays and other assorted pieces that will twist your head and make you laugh aloud. . . . Two parts Kafka, one part Monty Python. Available while there are still books.

"Eric Mader is a steady hand on the helm and a level eye on the sea of balance. He knows the serious and the unserious waves that we all need." --Afaa M. Weaver, author of "The Government of Nature" and "Multitudes"

" In "Idiocy, Ltd."] we are playfully and seriously moved to open our eyes wider and our ears to hear the delight of words. --John Poch, author of "Dolls," "Fix Quiet" and winner of the 2014 New Criterion Poetry Prize

"Unpredictability is Mader's stock in trade . . . an endlessly fascinating eccentric." --Bradley Winterton
