Description: First time novelist Chris Genoa's debut Foop! is an absurd science fiction comedy about the Earth's final destiny. Nick Sagan, author of Edenborn and Idlewild, says, "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."
The story follows the misadventures of Joe, a hapless time-traveling tour guide who is catapulted from his humdrum life into a surreal journey where a blind monkey is one of the sanest creatures he meets. Joe stumbles into the middle of events that threaten both the Earth's future and past in the book bestselling author Christopher Moore called "A surreal pie in the face."
World Fantasy Award Winner James Morrow says that "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."
