Description

#digitalwasteland

Tap into the tumultuous world of Mark Sarvas' third novel, @UGMan, where disillusioned protagonist UGMan wastes his days spewing on pre-Musk Twitter. Readers will be drawn in by UGMan's unsettling monologue, which skillfully weaves together references to history, pop culture, poetry, Dostoevsky, and UGMan's lifelong obsession with the Beatles. But don't be fooled by his online persona. Beneath the surface lies a sensitive man consumed by social media's alienation and the world's brokenness.

Mark Sarvas, acclaimed author of Harry, Revised and Memento Park, delivers an urgent narrative that puts a necessary spotlight on the psychological damage of social media.

@UGMan is a tour de force exploration of obsession, disillusionment, and the dark humor that accompanies them. Prepare to be riveted, shocked, and ultimately moved by this unforgettable tale of a man lost-perhaps forever-in the digital age.

Critical Reviews

"Recalls the captivating obsessives created by the late great Thomas Bernhard." -NPR"A chilling, flawlessly executed, and emotionally taxing portrayal of a broken psyche." -Kirkus Reviews"You'll recognize @UGMan as someone you know and might even love or follow. Perhaps, you, too, are @UGMan." -Anthony Swofford, author of Jarhead"Vitriol and hope make for a compelling cocktail in Mark Sarvas' scathing, hilarious, addictive homage to the Underground Man in a Twitter world." -Maud Newton, author of Ancestor Trouble"@UGman is brisk and lacerating, with important insights regarding an affliction now common to us all." -Jason Kruppa, creator of the podcast Producing the Beatles
