The Brothers Squimbop are everywhere-and nowhere.
Leaping across time, slipping between realities, and reshaping history in their wake, the enigmatic duo weaves a saga as bizarre as it is relentless. Sometimes slapstick comedians, sometimes ruthless tricksters, sometimes reluctant prophets, the Brothers shift identities, betray and resurrect each other, and leave a trail of chaos in their pursuit of an impossible mission: to bring about the Golden Age-over and over again.
Set in a world that thrives on spectacle, where mountain retreats and flickering cinemas hold the echoes of history, The Squimbop Condition is a wild, mind-bending journey through myth, madness, and the nature of storytelling itself.
Advanced Praise for 'The Squimbop Condition'A majestic and strange force of a book, a work of wild pleasures for our unsettled, damaged times. - William Boyle, author of Saint of the Narrows Street
David Leo Rice writes fiction with a seething ferocity, brilliance, and arcane imagination; the Squimbop Condition is a surreal and profound leap into the timeless art of storytelling. David Leo Rice is a writer I greatly admire. - Brandon Hobson, finalist for the National Book Award for Fiction, and author of The Devil is a Southpaw
I've always been a DLR super fan, and The Squimbop Condition is a new pinnacle. It has a joyful rhythm, a cadence that pervades the psyche until our concepts of self, other, relation, and identity tumble out topsy-turvy. I cherish the hours I spent with this book. - Charlene Elsby, author of The Devil Thinks I'm Pretty and Violent Faculties
A prescient lesson plan outlining a new golden age of American fiction. - Joshua Chaplinsky, author of Letters to the Purple Satin Killer
