The Novel

 
 
Praise for The Human War  Some novelists gently chisel their thoughts and ideas into refined, disciplined works of art, taking care to respect tradition and leave nary a flake of rock where unneeded. By contrast, ulcerous Ohioan Noah Cicero uses the language like a baseball bat, pounding his mind and soul and channeling his rage and suffering through the simplest form imaginable, a style he calls "existential minimalism." ...Fans of Beckett and Bukowski are hereby placed on notice. --Emerson Dameron, Zine World Reading The Human War I was reminded of the kind of world Kurt Cobain came from – marginalized, poor, dysfunctional. An American world far removed from Hollywood or John Updike’s fiction.... The Human War is also, it must be said, a very funny book. It satires America, and I kept hooting with laughter at its deadpan wit. But it doesn’t disrespect or patronize its characters....So what is The Human War in the end? A satirical anti-war masterpiece. A study of the condition of a contemporary underclass. A working class classic. --Ellis Sharp, The Sharp Sidehttp://www.fuguestatepress.com/human.htmlhttp://www.undergroundpress.org/http://ellissharp.blogspot.com/http://www.snowbooks.com/web9781905005468.htmlshapeimage_1_link_0shapeimage_1_link_1shapeimage_1_link_2
