About this book
"Butler is an original force who is fearless with form. . . . an inventive and deeply promising young author." Time Out New York "Butlers sentences. . . twist and evolve and theres a perverse joy that comes from watching just how his paragraphs are shaped of tracing their contractions and rhythms." Flavorpill With echoes of Justin Taylor Tony ONeill and Dennis Cooper breakout novelist Blake Butler delivers a wildly inventive impressionistic novel of family sickness and the wrenching birth of art. Evocative of Mark Z. Danielewskis House of Leaves and the films of David Lynch There Is No Year offers a fractured dystopian parable about the struggle and survival of art identity and family. As the Toronto Globe and Mail says if the distortion and feedback of Butlers intense riffing is too loud you may very well be too boring.
