The Two Dollar Radio Movement - Books too loud to ignore.

	Click for Nog page. August 2009 "Nog is to literature what Dylan is to lyrics." -Jack Newfield, VILLAGE VOICE "Somewhere between Psychedelic Superman and Samuel Beckett . . . the book is an accomplishment." -NEWSWEEK "The Novel of Bullshit is dead." -Thomas Pynchon Originally published by Random House in 1968, Nog became a universally revered cult novel and symbol of the countercultural movement. In Wurlitzer’s signature hypnotic and haunting voice, Nog tells the tale of a man adrift through the American West, armed with nothing more than his own three pencil-thin memories and an octopus in a bathysphere. This edition of Nog features a new introduction from noted critic and writer Erik Davis (TechGnosis). Click for Nog page.
	Two novels "69ed" in one edition October 2009 "Wurlitzer is one of the most unique and fascinating American writers." -Dennis Cooper "If you can legitimately judge a writer by fellow scribes who honestly extol his work, and count on his inhabiting a plane of popularity and celebrity similar to the one where his endorsers dwell, then Rudolph Wurlitzer should be a name on the lips of sage critics and fans of zesty, transgressive postmodernist fiction everywhere. Wurlitzer might be the closest thing we have to an actual cult author, a highly talented fiction writer." -Paul DiFilippo, Barnes & Noble Review Flats is a post-apocalyptic exploration of the human self. Submerged amidst a cast of faceless characters named after ruined American cities who compete over a shrinking fringe of space, Flats is a modern masterpiece of the counterculture. Quake chronicles the unraveling of society after an earthquake strikes ’60s Los Angeles. By painting a bleak picture of what people are capable of doing to one another in extreme circumstances, Quake is nihilistic and haunting, as well as uncomfortably foreboding. And more relevant than ever.

	Excerpt in BOOKFORUM's Summer 2009 issue. December 2009 "In The Cave Man, Xiaoda Xiao has made a stark and unforgettable contribution to the literature of imprisonment and survival. The Cave Man is sometimes dreamlike, sometimes as stinging and frank as a slap in the face, but no matter where this remarkable novel takes you it never loosens its grip on you, nor does it for a moment surrender its power to astonish, illuminate, and, against all odds, tenderly touch the reader's heart." -Scott Spencer "Xiaoda Xiao, a survivor of Mao's forced labor camps, has, like Solzhenitsyn, tranformed his experience into sublimely vivid fiction. Like Kafka, Xiaoda Xiao has made memorable the mad, surreal conditions of the world he conjures up for us - its potential both for cruelty and for kindness. And like Chekhov, Xiaoda Xiao, a masterful storyteller, has given us a gorgeously crafted, hauntingly memorable tale rich in story and in human character. The Cave Man will have a transformative effect on all those fortunate enough to read it." -Jay Neugeboren The Cave Man is an exceptionally moving and fascinating portrait of a brutalized man named Ja Feng, wrongly imprisoned during Chairman Mao’s rule. The story begins as Ja Feng is contained within a three foot by four-and-one-half foot solitary confinement cell in a prison camp. He has survived this punishment for a miraculous nine months, a period of time that has forced him to question his basic human faculties and emotions. The Cave Man follows Ja Feng as he is released from his solitary confinement, as he is forced to integrate with fellow prisoners who view his skeletal figure and erratic screaming fits as freakish, and his heartbreaking attempts to assimilate into Chinese culture, to reestablish familial bonds and to seek out an ordinary human experience.
