This fall, Mingus Tourette’s Nunt (Zygote
Publishing, September 2004) explodes with the shocking story of a man who
walks out on his wife and embarks on a ferocious two year odyssey of womanizing
and alcohol-fuelled violence. Tourette roars across a barbaric America in
this savage tale of murderous fist fights and molotov cocktails, doing battle
with malevolent priests, falling in love with obsessed prostitutes, and desperately
trying to exorcise the ghosts of his failed marriage.
A fascinating narrative of destructive and mercurial love, “Nunt
makes Fight Club look like Three Little Bunnies... these
verses have something to mortally offend everyone who reads them. I devoured
them in one sitting (before they devoured me), struck again and again by their
tireless and imaginative violence - passion, really. Tourette wrenches tormented,
nihilistic and surreally brutal feelings out of the pornographic and into
the poetic. Like drinking yourself sober, there’s virtue in the excess.”
– Daniel Richler
