The Gizmo

“One of the drollest and most inspired creations of Tito Perdue’s imagination is the ‘escrubilator,’ a piece of technology whose multifarious features and functions make it as impossible for the reader to visualize as Gogol’s nose that abandoned its owner and left town disguised as a civil servant. Tito Perdue’s nineteenth novel, The Gizmo, tells the story of how a small group of misanthropic, septuagenarian geniuses created the escrubilator to escrubilate the whole modern world. But, like all technologies, this one seems to have escaped the control of its creators.”—Greg Johnson, author of Toward a New Nationalism
