The Kafka Chronicles - Reviews

"In The Kafka Chronicles, postmodernist chef Mark Amerika serves up an exotic and tast bouillabaisse whose delightfully bizarre ingredients include succulent chunks of Leyner, Baudrillard, Kafka, Bataille, Jameson and cyberpunk all simmered in a rich sauce of nowspeak, advertising lingo and Sonic Youth lyrics not to be passed up!"

—Larry McCaffery, author of Storming the Reality Studio: A Casebook of Cyperpunk and Postmodern SF and Across the Wounded Galaxies: Interviews with Contemporary American SF Writers

"Mark Amerika not only plays music—the rhythm, the sound of his words and sentences—he plays verbal meanings as if they're music/ I'm not just talking about music. Amerika is showing us that William Burroughs came out of jazz knowledge and that now everything's political-and everything's coming out through the lens of sexuality."

—Kathy Acker, author of Empire of the Senseless and Blood and Guts in High School
