Pick up a copy of me HERE .I won the Stick Figure Prize for Language & Literature! It's a prize my author made up and gave to me.I also won a real prize: the Wonderland Book Award for best novel of 2007.Here's the description of me on my book cover:DR. IDENTITY, OR, FAREWELL TO PLAQUEDEMIA takes place in the irreal, postcapitalist city of Bliptown, where time ticks sideways, artificial Bug-Eyed Monsters punish citizens for consumer-capitalist lethargy, and ultraviolence is as essential as a daily multivitamin. The action begins when the psychotic surrogate-android of a disgruntled English professor accitentally murders a student, then a few faculty and staff members, then a movie star, all of which incites the anger and vengeance of the entire Amerikan nation. Wilson's debut novel marks the first installment of the Scikungfi trilogy.There's a flash preview of me on my author's RDSP page, among other things:Here's what a few authors have said about me:"A blur-fast caper through a mediated nightmare future which will thankfully be prevented by a series of massive and man-made disasters." STEVE AYLETT, author of SLAUGHTERMATIC & LINT"Dr. Identity is a rollicking romp through a future so absurd, it can't help but feel real. D. Harlan Wilson shows us everything we know—but wish we didn't—about ourselves." ROBERT VENDITTI, author of THE SURROGATES"Let’s dispense with the usual predictable analogies ('Kafka/Cronenberg-on-laughing-gas'), redundancies ('Phillip K. Dick/William Gibson-on-acid'), or accurate-but-somewhat-obscure references ('the most intense and, in a certain sense, the most significant young prose writer since Mark Leyner and Ben Marcus ... establishes Wilson as the Steve Katz of the post-everything generation ... vies with Derek Pell’s The Little Red Book of Adobe LiveMotion for being the funniest book of the new millennium'), and cut to the chase: D Harlan Wilson's hilarious meta-pulp SF novel, DR. IDENTITY, is a funhouse mirror whose cartoonish distortions continually amaze and amuse — until one realizes that what we’re seeing is a disturbingly accurate vision of ourselves. An instant avant-pop classic by a major new talent. Two surgically-enhanced, stainless-steel thumbs way, way up!"
