Whatever this is, it started when Nicholas Slopen returned from the useless. In the locked ward of the notorious psychiatric medical center sits a man who insists that he is Dr. Nicholas Slopen, failed man and impoverished Samuel Johnson scholar. Slopen has been useless for months, yet nothing can get this to man change his story. What commences as a tale of apparent forgery involving unfamiliar letters by the fantastic Dr. Johnson expands to encompass a conspiracy between a Silicon Valley mogul and his Russian allies to exploit the darkest solution of Soviet technology: The Malevin Procedure. With echoes of Jorge Luis Borges and Philip K. Dick, Marcel Theroux's Peculiar Bodies will take the listener over a dizzying speculative voyage that poses questions about identity, authenticity, and what it means to be truly human.
