THE LOVE SONG OF J. EDGAR HOOVER by Charles Talkoff

In the finest tradition of William S. Burroughs and Thomas Pynchon, comes a strong American author writing in the great American paranoiac’s voice as every page busts forth with a wild and elusive prose that takes the reader on a wild ride where anything becomes a possibility. With The Love Song of J. Edgar Hoover, Charles Talkoff combs the deepest fathoms of a paranoiac’s nightmares and brings back with him his vision and homage to the deeper, darker secrets of the human psyche in the post-9/11 world.

The Ministry of Ambiance, Fluffy-eared Generals, Special Agent Automatic Turpentine, Katzenberg’s Super Atomic Piston Ring, Mr. Jellybean and Agency men all vie for your thoughts. Welcome to a post-9/11 paranoid world that would have had Hoover dancing in his closet.

A wild ride through the physics of Katzenberg’s Super Atomic Piston Ring– "a machine that would allow the user to tap into conversations anywhere in the world at any moment in time.”

“Talkoff is . . . a serial killer having his way with the entire body of literature, art, and popular culture.”
- Jed Birmingham, Author, Editor
