Psychedelic Everest

Psychedelic Everest is Brion Poloncic's second book for JEF: a love story wrapped in a stream-of-consciousness narrative, punctuated by verbal hijinks, sweet and lyrical — a novella on the inevitability of love, on art, and on the nature of genius and madness.

Poloncic came to fiction in 2012 after a recording career as A Tomato A Day, begun in 1993, and a self-taught visual-art practice begun in 2006. JEF founder Eckhard Gerdes has called him the Daniel Johnston of the literary world. The debut is Xanthous Mermaid Mechanics.
