The online arts and culture magazine “The Artifa[ctuals]” is
currently running an excerpt from Adam Novak’s upcoming hallucinogenic Hollywood
novel, Rat Park (slated for release in 2022 by Red Giant Books). Novak is also
the acclaimed author of Take Fountain, The Non–Pro, and Freaks of the Industry through Sunday, April 11 (after which, you can read it in the archives).
On Monday, April 12, the magazine will feature an excerpt
from Marlan Warren’s upcoming novel, Tales of Sushi. The story focuses on the
attraction between a lonely Caucasian American divorcee and a charming Japanese chef, who forge a
cross-cultural friendship amid a lively sushi bar scene in the L.A. area.
“The story is based on my diaries from when I frequented
this Cheers-type sushi bar in Pasadena in the nineties,” says Warren, who is
also the author of the novel Roadmaps for the Sexually Challenged [All’s Not
Fair in Love or War].
Editor Aris Janigian created “The Artifa[ctuals]” in the
spirit of the Large Hadron Collider: “Our aim is to create a collision space for
critical thought and artistic expression, and we welcome fellow travelers on
our ever-evolving journey towards ‘a more perfect Union.’”
