Nersesian's cult status have focused on the tragicomedy of fin de siecle New York City. Now, in his boldest novel yet, he has broken through into a new landscape that at once fuses the real with the surreal, the psychological with the psychedelic. Actual characters from the '60s and '70s--Allen Ginsberg, Timothy Leary, Daniel Ellsberg, and the Berrigan Brothers--are but a few of the folks who populate this alternate version of American history.ðð
