About this product
Product Information
Jeffrey Rotter's "brilliantly comic" debut novel has "earned him every kind of comparison--Kaufmanesque, Vonnegutesque, Pynchonesque" ( New Statesman , U. K.). Jim Rath's wife has grown tired of his hobbies: his immaculately maintained comics collection, his creepy underwater experiments, and his dreams of building a museum based on the Aquatic Ape Theory of Human Evolution. On the night that she leaves him, Jim thinks he has spotted an emissary from a lost aquatic race called the Nautikons. In truth, the man is a low-level government inspector--a man harboring his own strange fantasies. What follows is a riveting story of two delusional and quixotic men who stalk each other toward a bloody showdown--a spectacularly moronic act at an aging water park. In The Unknown Knowns , Jeffrey Rotter takes everyday domestic fixations and turns them into a stunning portrayal of the human condition.

Reviews
"Perceptive and humorous... Goes beyond the obvious sendup to explore the private and at times desperate ways his characters strive to secure their own homeland... Rotter's imagination is formidable and fresh." -- Joseph Salvatore, New York Times Book Review, "Perceptive and humorous... Goes beyond the obvious sendup to explore the private and at times desperate ways his characters strive to secure their own homeland... Rotter's imagination is formidable and fresh." - Joseph Salvatore, New York Times Book Review, "Jeffrey Rotter's first novel inhabits -- and illuminates -- an eerie landscape where romantic fantasy, paranoid delusion, and homeland security thrillingly intersect: in other words, twenty-first-century America." -- Jennifer Egan, author of Look at Me and The Keep, "Riotous-yet-highly controlled... Rotter [has] imaginative verve and eye for absurdity -- personal, literary and political." -- Kerry Fried, Newsday, "Absurdly hilarious... So smart about paranoia, so freshly observed, I feared the era of Rumsfeld had returned."- Gary Shteyngart, author ofAbsurdistanandTheRussian Debutante's Handbook, "Absurdly hilarious... So smart about paranoia, so freshly observed, I feared the era of Rumsfeld had returned." -- Gary Shteyngart, author of Absurdistan and The Russian Debutante's Handbook, 'Perceptive and humorous?

This item didn’t come in exactly as pictured, but the seller responded immediately and was very gracious in offering me a partial refund even bough I wasn’t expecting one for what I paid for the item. I have bought from this seller before, and they are reputable and stand behind the products they sell. My other transactions with them have been perfect. Great communication. Packaging and price were good. Fairly fast shipping, too. Thanks.

This item came in exactly as pictured, and the seller posted immediately and was very gracious. I didn't ask for a partial refund. Why would I? I bought what I was expecting and received what I paid for the item. Not sure if I have bought from this seller before, but they are reputable and stand behind the products they sell. My future transactions with them will no doubt be perfect. Great communication. Packaging and price were good. Fairly fast shipping, too. Thanks.
