Love from Bizarroland
The book has been reviewed by bizarro maven Zé Burns and it is really quite moving to read.
"This is the type of book I adore: intelligent, whimsically hilarious, and unapologetically bizarre. It is everything I love about surrealism and bizarro put together in one masterpiece."

Deepest thanks.

New review
Deepest thanks to Krishan Coupland of Neon Books for a stunning review. A couple of snippets here and the full review linked below.
Take care, everybody.
“Exploring this world is an absolute delight. At every turn we encounter new depths of depravity, new heights of brilliance… and all of it is rendered in prose that is smart and squalid and layered enough to evoke – and perhaps even rival – James Joyce.”
“Lake of Urine is an anarchic, whip-smart ride through a world that mashes together the real and the impossible, the noble and the gaudy, the base and the divine. It is filmic, quick, dirty, and fuelled by an unstoppable energy from the first page to the last.”

Praise for Lake of Urine
My novel, due in the summer, has—despite its oddity—begun to attract praise from some outstanding people.
My deepest thanks go to Anne Cunningham of the Irish Independent, who calls it "absolutely savage" and who, in an act of almost reckless generosity, invokes the names of Swift, Wilde and Beckett, and also to Sara Lippmann, author of Doll Palace (which you should all read), who writes “Buckle up: Guillermo Stitch’s Lake of Urine is a formally inventive and exhilarating romp, an absurdist marriage plot with notes of Bohumil Hrabal and a novel’s heft of singularity. Come for the exuberant prose; stay for the bawdy turns and twists, and be rewarded with laughter. This colorful, original tale will not disappoint.”

Cover art
Waiting for the cover art to come through has involved a little threshhold apprehension. I needn't have worried, and couldn't be happier with the result. Deep thanks to Royce M Becker and Sagging Meniscus.

Book deal.
I'm delighted to share the news that my novel, Lake of Urine: A Love Story, will be released next summer by the wonderful Sagging Meniscus press.

What am I to expect of a book with a title like that, you may wonder.
But I'm not telling you.

Better late than never, I suppose.
I've started a facebook author page and would be deeply grateful for any likes. It's very new and I'm learning as I go, but I'll be doing my best to add engaging content regularly.
