From the twisted mind of the satirist who brought you The Neal Pollack Anthology of American Literature comes a raw protean yawp from the depths of nowhere; or, a hilarious novel that deftly parodies the history of rock and roll and its journalism. Between hits of nitrous oxide, Pollack has managed to perfectly echo the style of overeducated blowhards in order to deflate some of rock's most sacred egos: Elvis, Dylan, Iggy, The Boss, Cobain, and more.
Never Mind the Pollacks is a rock novel that really rocks. Like a classic album, it opens with a kick in the guts, proceeds to a bite in the shins, and ends with an uppercut to the jaw. It sends up America's sellouts and false idols, while continuing the ascendance of a new literary demigod, who is quickly becoming a one-man canon.
