Synopsis

If Sigmund Freud’s case histories were analytical crime novels, then Bellamonia takes a similar headlong plunge into a fathomless tangle of waking dreams, exorcisms, initiations, violent encounters, and escapes. Peter Sturmer’s compelling quest for selfhood is worked out against the throbbing backdrop of Manhattan in the 1980s, the time and space of an overpopulated migraine.

—Jon Woodson, author of To Make a New Race: Gurdjieff, Toomer, and the Harlem Renaissance

Visceral, gritty, hilarious, John Schertzer’s Bellamonia is a savage, Menippean satire that cuts through the turbulent flux and fever dream of life as a cube farmer in the Capitalocene. Like Schertzer’s devolution man, we readers are rollercoastered through episode after madcap episode worthy of Martin Amis and Sam Lipsyte. Read! It’s a drug! It’s a breakdown. It’s love! It’s Bellamonia!

—John Madera, author of Nervosities and Among the Dynamos

An ominous, uncanny, and darkly hilarious descent into a paranoid, disaffected, and entirely relatable consciousness. Both a great New York novel, and a great novel about the myriad modern tensions between self and society, reason and unreason, boredom and transcendence, and, ultimately, sanity and whatever sanity isn’t. I loved the whole trip!

—David Leo Rice, author of Angel House, Drifter: Stories, and the Room in Dodge City Trilogy
