Packer

Rate this book
You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone . . .

Waking up with no genitals can change a person. More so when the organs go their own way.

Celibate virgin Lulabelle just wants to care for the fugitive privy parts. Beauty influencer Brent is disgusted. Butch girl Dani makes them her own. Researcher Holly has a theory. As for Jake, whose groin is void, he’s seeing everything with new eyes.

Packer is a story about love, sexuality, identity, K-pop, Elizabethan circumnavigation and petroglyphs – a surreal desert fever dream for our times.

Packer blends the absurd and sublime, the ridiculous and profound – written for fans of Thomas Pynchon, Vladimir Nabokov, Joseph Heller, Phillip Roth, Franz Kafka and Kurt Vonnegut, building on the foundations of Rabelais, Swift and Sterne.

"This is truly remarkable . . . The author is a real talent." – Bloomsbury Publishing, UK

The book contains scenes of a omnisexual nature and occasional intertextuality.

To say this book is extraordinary doesn’t go far enough. The author doesn’t just cross boundaries, he leaps over them with such literate agility and poise that the reader is compelled to follow and remain immersed in a fantastic story that somehow feels as if it’s based on well researched fact. If you enjoy a well written challenge, this is the book for you.
