The FBI Says This Is Not Called the Sociopath

by Jason Rogers

Frank and Charles are detectives who are hunting for Randall Lang Gant, the ruthless serial killer, as he roams through the asshole of the city. I know that is the start of a terrible pulp novel ("terrible pulp novel"…that is redundant, I know). You, the reader, just have to look through the book. You will find out that the story is impossible, nev…well…whatever, avant-garde, and just plain fucked up. Throw in a narrator and some chaos and I, the writer, might just be able to drive the reader crazy and make them the/a sociopath. It is all from insanity. It's not a pulp/detective type novel. It may not even really be a novel (it’s an anti-novel). It may seemingly be but it probably more closely resemble cryptic coded transmissions from distant alien intelligences out in the cosmos. This doesn’t actually sound like a summary of the book, but a way to be cool and different. It may be a gov’t project. Shhhhhhhhh…

This book includes the statement that plot is overrated. Although I agree with this in many cases, and a book where the detectives pursue a serial killer by sitting around in a diner and telling each other how they really want to get their hands on the guy contains a certain amount of appeal, lack of plot has to be compensated with really good writing, and this book just doesn't have that.

It reads as if it were written in an afternoon, and with the frequency that Jason Rogers releases books, I wouldn't be surprised. This is a unique book. Unless you've read other works by Rogers, you've probably never see anything like it before. And it contains some interesting ideas.

I would really like to read a good novel by Rogers. And this book is an indication that he is capable of doing it, if only he put in the time and effort. It would be a book unlike any other and it would be a damn good read.
