Here's what
America is saying about Amerika:
"The real
counterculture is not gone. Mark Amerika is proof of that...Here we
have a writer who unravels his male heterosexuality as thoroughly
as any post-feminist, who's willing to make disturbing accusations
against mainstream culture, while simultaneously wrestling with postmodernity."
Philadelphia Inquirer
"Amerika
has taken the classic structure of the novel, run it through a postmodern
mixer and poured it into a form that most resembles the brain patterns
of a video game junkie about to beat his high score." Denver
Post
"Fiction
for {Amerika} becomes a kind of whirling acid trip, an anti-narrative-as-mind-altering
drug that makes you see the universe and language like you've never
seen them before. The outcome of these breathless heteroglossic strobes
is part Leyner-ed Ginsberg, part Acker-ed Burroughs, part some kind
of mutant Dexadrined Beckett..." American Book Review
"A remarkable
book, it held me all the way. Mr. Amerika---if indeed that is his
name---has achieved a unique beauty in his most artful marriage of
Blake's lyricism and the iron-in-the-soul of Celine. Are we talking
a new and hard-hitting Antonin Artaud? Absolutely. And much more."
Terry Southern, author of Candy and The Magic Christian and screenwriter
for Dr. Strangelove and Easy Rider
"...all
of Amerika's experiences contribute to his disjointed, driving writing
style..." National Public Radio's New Letters On The Air
"...contemporary,
media-savvy space..." Village Voice
"Mark
Amerika is showing us that William Burroughs came out of jazz knowledge
and that now everything's political---and everything's coming out
through the lens of sexuality." Kathy Acker, author of Empire
of the Senseless and Blood and Guts in High School
