He might be the deadend flneur of nonplaces like highway rest stops, airport terminals, and shopping malls, or he might be a Gitmobound enemy of the state. He might be the son of American workingclass parents, or he might be the cousin of a Middle Eastern revolutionary the US labels a terrorist. He might be in possession of a lost Beckett play, or he might just have to go to the bathroom a lot. He is the nameless hero of Human Wishes / Enemy Combatant, and hes probably no more than a pronoun. With a looping itinerary that takes us from St. Petersburg, Russie to Salem, Massachusetts, from the Palestinian Nakba to a plot to replace New Yorker critic James Wood with a shadowy lookalike, Human Wishes / Enemy Combatant might just be the novel that explodes mainstream, corporate literary fiction from the inside out. These antistories about In Between places bristle with vibrant, factfilled paranoia and good, oldfashioned selfdeprecation, making constant, unexpected turns at breakneck pace. From St. Petersburg to Palestine, from coffinshaped Joseph Cornell boxes to Monty Python doing Beckett, from reflections on the onslaught of Taylorism to violent, youthful misreadings ofAnimal Farm, the pure writerly intensity of the material, and the audacious panache of each new sentence, never for a moment flag. Jacob Wren, *Revenge Fantasies of the Politically Dispossessed* Literary squatter . . . saboteur . . . an unreadable runon paragraph . . . and unpublished, and, evidently, unpublishable novel. Norah Piehl, Director of Communications, Boston Book Festival Edmond Caldwell is right . . . James Wood
