Jeffrey Rotter's "brilliantly comic" debut novel has "earned him every kind of comparison--Kaufmanesque, Vonnegutesque, Pynchonesque" ("New Statesman," U.K.). Jim Rath's wife has grown tired of his hobbies: his immaculately maintained comics collection, his creepy underwater experiments, and his dreams of building a museum based on the Aquatic Ape Theory of Human Evolution. On the night that she leaves him, Jim thinks he has spotted an emissary from a lost aquatic race called the Nautikons. In truth, the man is a low-level government inspector--a man harboring his own strange fantasies. What follows is a riveting story of two delusional and quixotic men who stalk each other toward a bloody showdown--a spectacularly moronic act at an aging water park. In "The Unknown Knowns," Jeffrey Rotter takes everyday domestic fixations and turns them into a stunning portrayal of the human condition.
