Description
"Whether its smoking giraffes, Florida-style political rehabilitation, or the oddities of a whole cast of characters in Taipei, Eric Mader shows a sure hand in balancing satire, spoof, and twilight-zone weird, revealing hints of Kafka, Borges, and other worthies, but with a spirit all his own. With its riotous absurdity, its jarring changes of register, and its underlying critical but humane tone, Idiocy, Ltd. will make you laugh and, more important, make you think." --Duncan Chesney, Professor of Comparative Literature, NTU, author of Silence Nowhen: Late Modernism, Minimalism and Silence in the Work of Samuel Beckett
"[In Idiocy, Ltd.] we are playfully and seriously moved to open our eyes wider and our ears to hear the delight of words." --John Poch, author of Dolls, Fix Quiet and winner of the 2014 New Criterion Poetry Prize
"Unpredictability is Mader's stock in trade . . . an endlessly fascinating eccentric . . . everything he puts his hand to is very well worth reading." --Bradley Winterton
