Originally published in 1968, Nog became a universally revered novel and part of the countercultural movement. Now, 42 years later, it is back in print with a brand new introduction. In Wurlitzer's signature haunting and hypnotic voice, Nog tells the tale of a lone man adrift in the American West, armed with nothing but his own pencil-thin memories and an octopus in a bathysphere. After releasing the fake octopus into the ocean, Nog meanders up the Californian coast, repeatedly tracing his memories and making lists.
