Detectives Michael and Daniel try to solve a murder on planet Earth. “A fever of invention and imagination; I’m bewitched. Kleine and Hoy take the dense and conceptually complex and brings it to human scale with the ergonomic, precise poetics of a deconstructed and swirling detective novel. Peculiar and beautiful.” —BRONTEZ PURNELL, author of 100 Boyfriends “This is what might happen if Richard Brautigan and Derek McCormack were co-hired to rewrite the movie Collateral to make it a buddy film in which reality is constantly in the process of collapsing. Weird and wonderful and playful, this is the detective novel on acid.” —BRIAN EVENSON, author of Song for the Unraveling of the World ”This book is a quest, a doorway, a surrealist play—I don’t know what the hell to call it, which is why I can’t recommend it enough. You’ve never read anything else that’s fun like this is fun.” —AMBER SPARKS, author of And I Do Not Forgive You
