Foop! Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Meet Joe, the ill-fated tour guide at the center of a story that beings with the death of Abraham Lincoln, at Joe's hands. There are strange happenings going on at Dactyl, Inc., the world's first and only time travel tourism company. So strange that Joe, a tour guide, is promoted to the new position of Chief of Probes. His first probe: find out who's been traveling back in time and torturing his boss in rather disturbing ways. Joe finds himself catapulted from his dull life into a surreal journey where a blind hog-tying monkey is one of the sanest creatures he meets. Traveling through a past where the only thing that changes the present is death, while dealing with the fabric of space-time slowly unraveling, Joe stumbles into the middle of events that threaten both the Earth's future and past.

Review:

?A seriocomic romp through time and space.? Library Journal

Review:

?Foop! is a surreal pie in the face.? Christopher Moore, author of Fluke and Lamb

Review:

"Wild, fearless and wickedly clever, Foop! fireballs through time and space to find a future that is as absurd as it is heartbreaking....Wonderfully dark. A terrific read. An inspired debut.? Nick Sagan, author of Edenborn and Idlewild

Review:

"Chris Genoa is one of our authentic literary lunatics, and the irrepressible Foop! offers irrefutable proof of his salutary madness. When they lock Genoa away in the booby-hatch, I hope they give him lots of pens and plenty of paper." James Morrow, author of Towing Jehovah and Blameless in Abaddon

Review:

"...weird humor, great characters, and descriptions of time travel so accurate that you'd think Genoa?s actually traveled through time.? Neal Pollack, author of The Neal Pollack Anthology Of American Literature and Never Mind The Pollacks

Review:

"Foop! is a superbly surreal and wickedly wry rollick through the space-time continuum. With a talent for hyperbole reminiscent of the late Douglas Adams, Genoa stretches surreality to its snapping point and succeeds in delivering a hilarious debut novel." Tony Vigorito, author of Just a Couple of Days
