An
outrageous, provocative, and terrifying tour-de-force…
Mingus Tourette’s Nunt
(Zygote Publishing, September 2004) explodes with
the shocking story of a man who walks out on his
wife and embarks on a ferocious two year odyssey
of womanizing and alcohol-fuelled violence. Tourette
roars across a barbaric America in this savage
tale of murderous fist fights and molotov cocktails,
doing battle with malevolent priests, falling
in love with obsessed prostitutes, and desperately
trying to exorcise the ghosts of his failed marriage.
A fascinating narrative of destructive and mercurial
love, “Nunt makes Fight Club
look like Three Little Bunnies... these
verses have something to mortally offend everyone
who reads them. I devoured them in one sitting
(before they devoured me), struck again and again
by their tireless and imaginative violence - passion,
really. Tourette wrenches tormented, nihilistic
and surreally brutal feelings out of the pornographic
and into the poetic. Like drinking yourself sober,
there’s virtue in the excess.” –
