[JW · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is for the fan of the Sci-fi non-narrative prose-ity epiphany genre. There are very few of these books in existence. I own nearly all of them. There is a similar feeling conjured up in me by "Victory Chimp" as was felt reading "And The Ass Saw The Angel". I learned that people could write on the edges of language and change, my view at least, of what a NOVEL can be. I suppose it started further back than I know but I would guess that Andre Breton and the Dadaists began to "popularize" it, Bill Burroughs made it a science, and Nick Cave and others brought it back to 'art'.

"Yin Jim vs. the Vomit Creature" is way better.

So far unrateable. Meditation on pro-wrestling at the end was icing on the cake. Will read again!
