From the Author
The Jamais Vu Papers was our first novel--and our most unabashedly experimental one, which alternately infuriated and delighted its readers. "Seminally integrating illustrations and text," as Publishers Weekly put it in a glowing review. It has been out of print for years, and now the supply of recirculating old copies has apparently run low. So readers will be glad to know that a new edition of The Jamais Vu Papers will be available on Amazon about October 1, 2010!
--Wim Coleman and Pat Perrin
From the Back Cover
The Jamais Vu Papers was first published by Harmony Books in 1991. Here's what readers and reviewers said back then:
"Cleverly plotted and seminally integrating illustrations and text." --Publishers Weekly
"A playful romp through all the theoretical realities of current scientific thought." --Kirkus Reviews
"A witty, unconventional exploration of reality." --Booklist
"A witty and erudite restatement of some of the latest thinking about how words and reality relate to each other." --Frank Zoretich, Albuquerque Journal
"Is The Jamais Vu Papers one of those narcissistic novels written by and for literature scholars? No, it's much broader in scope. It takes on the latest in physics, psychology, myth, and interdisciplinary theories of time as well. Is it one of those meta-fictional taunts at the nature and boundaries of fiction? If so, the results backfire, and the multiple layers and exposed intersections of reality and fiction serve only to draw us, more deeply, into the fun of a multi-genre maze." --Rebecca Stephens, Tallahassee Democrat
"The Jamais Vu Papers takes the reader on a moonlit hayride through an incredible terrain where reality and imagination hold hands and fall in love. I'm delighted to be among the passengers in this miraculous journey." --Jamake Highwater, author of The Primal Mind
"The Jamais Vu Papers are magnificently entitled to the name. Ain't jamais been a book so new-view and nouveau-riche with probable realities in the new cybernetic world of Science, Myth, and Magic." --Timothy Leary
