A new kind of American travelogue.David Ulin,Los Angeles Times Book Review

Somewhere between Psychedelic Superman and Samuel Beckett.Newsweek

Originally published by Random House in 1969,Nogbecame a universally revered cult novel and a symbol of the countercultural movement.

In Rudolph Wurlitzers signature hypnotic and haunting voice,Nogtells the tale of a man adrift in the American West, armed with nothing more than his own three pencil-thin memories and an octopus in a bathysphere.

This edition ofNogfeatures a new introduction from noted critic and writer Erik Davis (TechGnosis).

Yesterday afternoon a girl walked by the window and stopped for sea shells. I was wrenched out of two months of calm. Nothing more than that, certainly, nothing ecstatic or even interesting, but very silent and even, as those periods have become for me.

Rudolph Wurlitzeris the author of the novelsThe Drop Edge of Yonder,Quake,Flats, andSlow Fade, as well as the nonfiction memoirHard Travel to Sacred Places. He wrote the screenplays for such classic films asPat Garrett and Billy the Kid,Two Lane Blacktop, andWalker, among others, and co-directed the filmCandy Mountainwith Robert Frank.
