The esteemed literary arts collective PANK Magazine is out with a new review of THE NEWS CLOWN!
The review by Thomas Michael Duncan, says the overwhelming achievement of THE NEWS CLOWN was an ‘exhausting’ experience. The Book of the Century, he notes, presents ‘fascinating ideas about society and the media.’ And resoundingly, the reviewer found himself focused on Thor’s descriptions of women and female breasts! Garcia draws out the two extremes of news reporting: overindulgent, fanatical coverage of the president by the national media versus minimalistic, apparent coverage of gruesome crimes by the local paper. Neither variety appears especially valuable, yet no happy medium arises, perhaps to suggest that a middle ground is impossible. . . . Thor drinks, writes crime blurbs, has sex with women, dates women, moves on, drinks more. New, strange characters are introduced throughout the story, and most disappear without fanfare or reason. Some are mentioned early on, then not again for two hundred pages. The women of the story each read like slight variations of the same, one-dimensional person. They have different body types and occupations, but each is equally lacking complexity. More often than not, within the first paragraph of a woman’s introduction, Thor mentions her boobs. The list of unimaginative breast descriptions include “boobs the size of pomegranates,” “your average boobs,” “smaller boobs,” “medium boobs,” and “ridiculously big boobs.”
Fancy that! Read it all here!

Online standout Nth Position has published a scintillating review of THE NEWS CLOWN.
A Sickness Called America – Thor Garcia’s The News Clown, by the peerless Jim Chaffee, says: Thor’s coming of age is not set against an adolescent nation establishing borders or growing through hard times to become a major power, but rather against a decaying and degenerate nation populated with inbred, narcissistic adolescents long past their second decades. A tapestry of a post-apocalyptic society whose debt-bound, clueless denizens are so anaesthetized from noise, shopping and drugs, prescription or otherwise, that they are unaware the calamity they fear as bogyman has already overtaken them. It is the United States of America, coast to coast third-world intellectual trailer park of violent, superstitious, uneducable functional illiterate turds-in-a-punch bowl, smoking ruin of an air-conditioned nightmare. The ambient background is portrayed through news articles, many written by Thor who exists in a limbo of squalor equivalent to Ferdinand, protagonist of the hilarious picaresque coming of age novel by Louis-Ferdinand Céline, Death on the Installment Plan. However, unlike Ferdinand, Thor seems not angry and bitter but resigned to the senseless brutality of his fellow primates, which gives him as well a different approach to survival amongst them, more amenable to and inviting of their punishment from behind a veil woven of alcohol and other drugs.

THE NEWS CLOWN here is here! Check the amazing cover.
Equus Press is releasing Thor’s epic THE NEWS CLOWN, and it comes in at more than 160,000 words and nearly 500 pages. Says the publisher: “Thor Garcia’s monumental iconoclastic novel, News Clown, was a finalist in the 2009 Amazon.com Breakthrough Novel Award. Publishers Weekly, which read the book for the contest, said: “Fueled by prodigious amounts of alcohol and tobacco, sex and drugs, this narrative skips along from one bizarre episode to the next in the tortuous life of Thor, a young man whose dreams of a literary career have been sidetracked into an undemanding job as a ‘news clown’ for a small wire service in the crime-infested back alleys of Bay City. Meanwhile, as Thor struggles with his inner demons, the national news clowns are cheering on President Wolfgang G. Mnung as he threatens a Middle Eastern dictator who may have stockpiled ‘as many as 4,000 PlayStation video game units’ from which, according to sources, he might fashion a crude supercomputer to control weapons of untold devastation. A flashy, satirical style keeps the narrative fresh, entertaining and eminently readable throughout.”
It appears Thor is back, and THE BOOK OF THE CENTURY IS HERE
