Nothing from Nothing by N Nosirrah
This is a new and revolutionary book in which the reader constructs the meaning of what is read, and what the obsequious critics missed is that without their construction there is no meaning at all contained within these pages.

Everything in this book, from the very title and name of the author, is playfully nihilistic, and not to be taken seriouslyThe author, it might be said, is carrying out the work of Shiva the destroyer, to bring down every preconception we might have about belief, art, the self, the novel, meaning, and existence itself. Yet like the wisdom of yoga, there is a redeeming wisdom here which can delight in the very spirit of playful dance, in which destruction and creation are two faces of the same art. From the very beginning, the so-called Editor's Preface, by a Lydia Smyth, is suspect, along with the Foreword by a dubious Nebirk Yallip. Later in the text the author interjects conversation with said editor, hinting also at personal relationship issues with her (among other attractions). These digressions are par for the course in a narrative that follows no linear thread, but the sparking digressions of a brain wired to everything and nothing at once. The approach is ironic, in the tradition of Tristam Shandy. It is Nietzchean, in its bold broad strokes of overturning every conventional assumption in favor of a revolutionary insistence on the power of truth in the momentary impulse of expression. It is post-modern, discursive, tangential, irreverent, profane, fearless. It is at once "not an easy read" and effortless. --Alternative Culture Blog
N. Nosirrah is considered by his followers as perhaps the most notable writer and speaker of the past century on the Way of the Mystic, while his critics insist that the man is functionally illiterate, a fraud and possibly a lunatic. Nosirrah himself maintains that since neither he, his fans or his critics exist, he is therefore in an unknowable state beyond any form of praise or critique.
