Reviews
"In Roundabout , words drift and bob and flow so smoothly that what's missing isn't known. In fact, its omission is the vigor that thrusts it on, its limitation its gift to us all. By plucking a symbol away, playfulness is put on full display, giving us a magical and wondrous work. Book buyers watch out: amazing things await." --BJ Hollars, author of Sightings, "Brilliant, audacious, and irreverent, Roundabout is a slapstick meta-romp through art, literature, metaphysics, and modern America--all without a single e ! Ladies and Gentlemen of the Ouilipian jury, I present Phong Nguyen as our next American representative." --Alexander Weinstein, author of Children of the New World, "Our author draws you into a diabolical conspiracy--a 'plot' of sorts, to kill a quixotic fabulist known as Ovid (a fool who must go on a road trip, avoiding his doom by hiding from such a call for his assassination). I might point out, in passing, that Ovid is an anagram for a Void (a kind of hollow, full of missing, ghostly allusions that haunt this story throughout). Our uthor has, alas, shown his authorial tradition no sympathy, choosing to draft a book that abandons a common symbol, a minor glyph, which most narrators find crucial in any production of a drama. You can always try your hand at such a task in a roundabout way, but why not scan this book first, so as to fathom how a virtuoso might do it with whimsy." --Christian Bok, author of Eunoia
Synopsis
Ovid Dullann works as an assistant accountant for a multinational corporation and is supporting a family of four; but abruptly, on his forty-ninth birthday, Ovid runs away from his daily work and his loving family to go on a road trip. Struck by inspiration, Ovid knows that an Author is writing about him, and will do anything to avoid acting as a protagonist of a book. But this Author will not abandon his pursuit, and vows to punish Ovid, his wayward protagonist.
