THIS IS NOT NOTHING is about anything but nothing.
Dealing in the same degree of imperatives found in their debut work of fiction EVERY THING, andrw fx clears the way yet again for a new kind of novel in their fifth book. Through obsessive maximalism, andrw wields language like a paintbrush chaotically flinging and mashing paint into precise quadrants of a canvas, then with a large-eyed needle, stitches equal partitions between the spattering of compulsory lines in different shades and weights of black string to explicitly compartmentalize and apply order to them. This is not the next great American novel-this is meant to make that kind of book ill. The journey through this stream of consciousness will either drive you mad, or leave you begging for more.
