Wilder Crick, the worst presidential candidate in history, is dead.

Now his reluctant apprentice Tom and ruthless campaign manager Shelly must carry out his final order—a bizarre, posthumous search for the true, hidden nature of reality.

"Some books tell a story," writes Literary Titan's Priscilla Evans. "Others drag you into a chaotic, unrelenting experience that scrambles your brain and leaves you questioning everything. Cleave the Sparrow is for people who enjoy satire so sharp it draws blood, philosophy so deep it makes your head hurt, and humor so dark you feel guilty laughing.”

I didn't non not like it but it takes the batshit of our everyday now and throws a little more shit at the fan. if you wonder if we are in the right reality, you will feel right at home.

giant pile of nonsense mixed with philosophy ducttape and quantum bubblegum. Fans of Burroughs will love it.

entertaining and a little all over the place. it's out there...but not that far. Quantum Psychology by Robert Anton Wilson is a far better mind opener.

Ambitious

I really appreciated the unorthodox writing style of the author. It was reminiscent of one of the greats, Kurt Vonnegut. I very much look forward to checking out any future works by Katz.

I like the lecture topics intro to the story. I wished the story line wasn’t so loose, but it was still a fun ride.

Definitely thought provoking!
