Every once in a while, a novel comes along that simply cannot be defined in comparisons. Words, images, and plot fly like dirt being thrown from a hastily dug grave in this more-than-original rant on the present state of the human condition.<P>"A loud gate-crasher at the experimental-fiction pool party". -- Kirkus Reviews<P>"Startling, surreal, and often brilliant...definitely cutting edge fiction". -- Library Journal<P>"Blending cyberpunk imagery, a picturesque plot and hallucinatory prose, Frank's World...may appeal to fans of the gritty, marginal work of Samuel Delany and Charles Bukowski". -- Publishers Weekly<P>"The novel succeeds in presenting an explosively experimental form. It blows apart the current trend of 'writer's workshop' fiction..". -- Boston Phoenix Literary Section
