    I really, really , really like books by these dead guys: JP Donleavy, Samuel Beckett, Douglas Adams, Kurt Vonnegut, Vladimir Nabakov, and Aldo Leopold. I like lots of living writers too, but I refuse to list them here until they start acting like real goddamn writers and dying already.

About me:

I'm Chris Genoa. Many moons ago I wrote a book called FOOP!. Some people read it and liked it. Other people read it and hated it. But it's OK because I've found something very special that makes me not care either way: booze.

You can learn absolutely nothing about me at ChrisGenoa.com and Science4Sissies, as my writing is filled with nothing but lies and stupidity. For more lies and stupidity, check out FOOP! at Amazon, Powells or wherever you like to buy books. I'm the also the author of the dark alternate history comedy Lick Your Neighbor and the kung fu comedy The Monkey & the Barrel. Both of which are forthcoming. Which means they'll be published a few years after I'm dead by my relatives even though I'll have left explict instructions in my will for them to burn everything.

This is a character from FOOP!:

And here are some nice things that people far more successful than I said about FOOP!:

"Foop! is a surreal pie in the face."
-CHRISTOPHER MOORE, bestselling author of Fluke and Lamb

"Wild, fearless and wickedly clever, Foop! fireballs through time and space to find a future that is as absurd as it is heartbreaking. Wonderfully dark. A terrific read. An inspired debut."
-NICK SAGAN, author of Edenborn and Idlewild

"Weird humor, great characters, and descriptions of time travel so accurate that you'd think he's actually traveled through time."
-NEAL POLLACK, author of The Neal Pollack Anthology Of American Literature and Never Mind The Pollacks

"When they lock Genoa away in the booby-hatch, I hope they give him lots of pens and plenty of paper."
-JAMES MORROW, World Fantasy Award-Winning author of Towing Jehovah and Blameless in Abaddon

"With a talent for hyperbole reminiscient of the late Douglas Adams, Genoa stretches surreality to its snapping point and succeeds in delivering a hilarious debut novel."
-TONY VIGORITO, author of Just a Couple of Days

Who I'd like to meet:


The future me. So I can slap him. Because I have a feeling he's going to be a huge asshole.
