Here’s number 6 in our collectible Absurdist Texts & Documents series: Snowdrop in Africa by Norman Conquest. Beware: it’s a metafictional highball spiked with oulipian ouzo and wolfsbane. Shaken, not stirred.

Up To His Old Tricks
Yes, Professor C. W. Snowdrop is up to his old tricks again, and you’ll find them all inside Snowdrop in Africa when it hits the shelves on Halloween. It’s #6 in our Absurdist Texts & Documents series and nearly impossible to describe. Imagine a film noir starring Groucho Marx, with a screenplay by Raymond Roussel, and directed by Alfred Hitchcock—and that still doesn’t explain this metafiction by Norman Conquest.
You’ll just have to read it to believe it. CLICK HERE to purchase.
If you don’t buy this book…
That’s right, the terrorists will win.
A cheap scare tactic? Not on your life. It was a former president who instructed us to do our patriotic duty: shop till you drop.
But don’t take his word for it, just ask Ryan Forsythe, the author of IF YOU DON’T READ THIS THE TERRORISTS WILL WIN. He was tortured by the U.S. government and lived to tell this shocking (some might say hilarious) tale of faith, patriotism, and how to pitch a children’s book.
That may sound screwy, but these are screwy times. Just remember, the fate of the nation is in your hands.
