Nada

by Mike Heppner, Stephen Hoye (Reading)

In this darkly funny and often unsettling novella, Mike Heppner ( The Egg Code, Pike's Folly, The Man Talking Project ) introduces listeners to Nada Zilch, a social omnivore and reality TV star with a taste for staying up all night and pushing people's buttons. Always the loudest, smartest voice in the room, Nada has chosen her victim for the Billy Gallagher, an NYU professor who is struggling to put his own excesses behind him. What starts out as a business proposition between two strangers quickly evolves into a cackling ride through Manhattan at night, where the laughs are all fake, the drinks are all paid for, and the buzz and the hangover merge into violence at first light.
