Eastgate is pleased to announce the publication of FIGURSKI AT FINDHORN ON ACID, a combinatoric screwball comedy by Richard Holeton.

What do a murderous graduate student, a handless cup flipper, and a devious journalist have in common? All three want to find a pair of centuries-old mechanical pigs. Their alliances and double-crosses take them from a Scottish commune to the Moroccan desert by way of a Florida trailer park. Along the way, alternate and virtual realities are explored, until past, future, and processed ham are revealed and fed to the pigs.
"Holeton's hypertext belongs in the tradition
of screwball comedy, but it raises that
tradition to the level of metaphysics--a cross
between Borges and the Marx Brothers."
-- Michael Tratner, Bryn Mawr College
