Collected Voices in the Expanded Field

PRAISE FOR GIL THE NIHILIST "Blurring the boundary between screenplay and poem, "Gil The Nihilist" one-ups Pound's modernist dictum ("make it new") by additionally making it "now." Right now. Right this instant. More timely, relevant, and compelling than anything else on the market. In no uncertain terms, Kilpatrick has produced the first truly radiant nightmare of the 21st century. To put it in movie-speak, it's Clark Coolidge meets Andrzej Zulawski meets Kathy Acker's "Blood and Guts in High School" meets Richard Kern's "Fingered" meets Death Grips meets John Waters. Moreover, this book pulses with the word porn of word stylists meshed with the intoxicating visuals of our everyday hyper-reality." -Christopher Higgs, author of "The Complete Works of Marvin K. Mooney" "Sean Kilpatrick, like some godlike producer, must've got Joyce, Sade, Jarry, and Trecartin together in a Star Waggon. This book's a sick channel for all our channels, a gnarly and hilarious script of the human animal's entertainment... Kilpatrick presents a new zone in American fiction. Who must I destroy to get this show made?" -Ken Baumann, author of "Solip" "Sean Kilpatrick is a lunatic and an instigator. This book is a restraining order. Stray from summary. Please don't have opinions. Try to enjoy it and see yourself trying to weigh in. Then, laugh at yourself for that. Then, give him a hug." -Elizabeth Mikesch, author of "Niceties"

A Sitcom

Gil the Nihilist

Blake Butler

PRAISE FOR BLAKE BUTLER "An endlessly surprising, funny, and subversive writer." -Publishers Weekly "If the distortion and feedback of Butler's intense riffing is too loud, you may very well be too boring." -Globe and Mail (Toronto) "Try Blake on. Lace him up. Wear him around your neck in wreaths." -Vice "If there's a more thoroughly brilliant and exciting new writer than Blake Butler . . . well, there just isn't." -Dennis Cooper PRAISE FOR SEAN KILPATRICK "This is a book you need. Language reset. Guidebook." -HTML GIANT on Sean Kilpatrick's "fuckscapes" "The violent, sexual zone of television and entertainment is made to saturate that safe-haven, the American Family. The result is a zone of violent ambience, a 'fuckscape': where every object or word can be made to do horrific acts. As when torturers use banal objects on their victims, it is the most banal objects that become the most horrific (and hilarious) in Sean Kilpatrick's brilliant first book." -Johannes Goransson on "fuckscapes" "Here is your I.V. drip of sphinx's blood." -CA Conrad
