A blood-caked framing hammer and an unfinished manuscript are the Fly's only leads in the case of a dead editor. A woman with a strange ability-divining the image of an author from their texts-is his best bet in solving the crime. The hiccups along the way are many: a vengeful detective, a gangster with a metaphysical hole inside of him, an interdimensional protector of childhood wonders, to name a few. This book has all the trappings of a noir, dimestore, detective novel while leaning into the literary, the existential, the bizarre. Brutal violence and phenomenological experiments collide in the Fly's quest to uncover the truth. Join the adventure as all hell breaks loose. "A fever-dream detective novel set among möbius worlds, a love song to the electricity of books, a smart, self-alert, irresistibly disobedient narrative weirdness, Michael Farfel's Glossy Eyed, Buzzy Fly rescues us from the everyday with every sentence." - Lance Olsen, author of Absolute Away "The best books have a motor, and, boy, does Glossy Eyed, Buzzy Fly have one of those. Farfel's sentences are going to rattle around in your brain for a while. They're going to kick up a neurochemical stew that'll make you laugh dangerous kinds of laughs and feel seriously adrenal kinds of heartbeats. You'll like the heartbeats. They'll let you know you're alive in the 21st-century, and you might find yourself shouting that out to the novel. I know I did. 'I'm alive in the 21st-century, ' this book made me say, and it was delirious fun listening to its replies." - Brett Biebel, author of Gridlock "On its exquisitely rendered surface, it's a mannerist heir to the detective genre, but with molten psychedelia, first seeping, then bursting out from the inside. A joyful, ravenous hallelujah to the curse and privilege of life." -Brandon Dayton, author of Green Monk "Glossy Eyed, Buzzy Fly is a book that cannot be ignored. It starts with a book inside a book and a murder attached and goes from there. It's a hard-hitting pulp that takes you to places no pulp has gone before, and a playful romp that will keep you on the edge of your seat. The story starts simple. It always does. But, when it starts winding, through magic and mayhem, from drunk hold-ups, to safehouses across state lines to something wholly other, you may find yourself shocked and perplexed, and with as many questions as answers, but what you'll also find is a damn good time." -Gabriel Chad Boyer, author of What Light Becomes Me
