A History of Zero: & Alter Fictions
>p> The Library of Thomas Rivka is an impressive and incredibly engaging book! Nakell’s fiction is an equal complement to his poetry.
Robert Creeley Nakell has achieved something that is nearly impossible and would likely be disastrous if undertaken by a less skilled writer…to create a unique and ground-breaking work of literature…celebrating…every Human’s primal urge to create something from nothing.
Angela Genusa , Mad Hatter’s Review Like Calvino’s Marco Polo waanderingwandering to the invisible cities of the imaginary Mongol Empire, our Monk discovers that every amazing place he goes is only and always a gateway to the next amazing place. Nakell has succeeded in getting closer to, as Henry Miller put it, “the heart of the truth, which I suppose is the ultimate aim of the writer, in the measure that he ceases to struggle.”
Stuart Metranga, The Believer

A strong piece of experimental fiction. I read this for my English class taught by the author of this book.
