When Mark Polanzak was seventeen, his father spontaneously combusted on the tennis court, vanishing forever. It is also entirely possible that he died of a heart attack. Either way, his father's death is a story Polanzak spends much of his life trying to get right. POP! creates a mosaic of memoir and myth, an emotionally truthful (if factually unreliable) narrative that captures the grieving process with authenticity, grace, and wit. Polanzak's artful and funny hybrid of memoir and fiction flirts with the absurdity and integrity of memory.

Industry Reviews

Part memoir, part fiction, and part essayistic speculation, POP! brilliantly redefines what a "personal" narrative can be." - Timothy Denevi, author of Hyper
"Like a kaleidoscope, POP! turns and mixes narrative and shifts it into patterns both fluid and unpredictable. An eccentric and profound book that evokes not only our desire to remember, but our need to transform memory into story." --Greg Hrbek, award-winning author of Destroy All Monsters In POP!, Mark Polanzak takes us through one family's struggle with unexpected tragedy and loss. Part memoir, part fiction, and part essayistic speculation, POP! brilliantly redefines what a "personal" narrative can be. Polanzak has written a compelling meditation about the limits and paradoxes of the stories we try and tell ourselves when we lose someone we love. Risky, fantastical, and evocative-this is literary nonfiction at its best! --Timothy Denevi, author of Hyper
