The Lost Time Accidents: A Novel

"The Lost Time Accidents is a manic, excessive and strange time-travel saga that samples wildly from various genres. One section is a flawless imitation of a Joan Didion essay, others look like excerpts of pulpy sci-fi novels, one is a perfect parody of bloated book reviews, and so on. It reminds me of an invention of my little brother’s called “poogle cake,” which was made by combining every ingredient in the refrigerator — savory, sweet, expired, all — and baking it for 20 minutes. The difference is that The Lost Time Accidents is a wonderful, delirious, layered confection, whereas poogle cake tasted like ketchup and eggshells."
