Mark begins this novella by going dumpster diving in Kensington Market with a hopeless crush. Nine days later, things have changed. Factsheet Five said "Jim is an absolute god when it comes to this sort of writing and someone should be paying him serious money to keep doing it."
This is about 17-year-old girls working for the Ministry of Natural Resources. They grow up to appear in Infinity Points and Flyboy. The editor of Reptiles of the Mind said that "I almost didn't read it, but I did and it's excellent, very good writing, engaging characters, and a good plot."
People claimed to have carried this tiny book around in their wallets for ages, until they found out that it was unusable as currency. It's an epic story of my walk up Yonge Street, from the Lakeshore all the way to the city limits.
A tale of the far future, where Mother Nature has a fully realized
sentience and the first of her Neo-Druids encounters skate jousters and
followers of the blessed Martin Luther King in the Land of Harlem.
"Good old fashioned science-fantasy, full of energy."
REM (UK)
"Yup, there's 13 short stories here. But, damn are they good. Ok, not
just good, but fucking great! I almost missed my stop, I was so engrossed
in reading them. From cyberpunkish takes of hard-boiled private dick
lesbians and anarchist control virus vectors to sentimental eco-warriors
and young kids getting their brains blown out, Jim tells it so well. Like
it could be, like it shouldn't be or like it really truly is."
FACTSHEET FIVE (USA)
"Most of the stories seem to centre on unusual meetings of people against a
'normal' backdrop... Munroe is acidic, sharp and witty, and his writing
reads at roller coaster speed."
NO (UK)
"His writings take you to an alternate SurReality where the Radical and
Subversive melt into a glorious sandwich to be savoured with a cup of
psychoactive espresso. Reading Joe Blow Godot was the paper equivallent of
a vicarious mind-altering experience."
D.E. PAGAN PARENTING DIGEST (USA)
Celtic Pamplemousse
A rantzine fluctuating between fucking angry opinions and
just plain silly sludge.
"The smart-as-a-whip boyzine by multi-talented Jim Munroe."
THE VARSITY (CANADA)
"Jim has his head screwed on and [writes] with a comical touch and an
artful flair not often seen these days"
MAXIMUMROCKNROLL (USA)
"Rather pretentious"
