Grand Recipient of the Weird America Fiction Award! Truly outlandish, Xan Price's Nitwit follows several quirky folks who inhabit a strange little community just like yours or mine. In this oddball outland anything can happen: Ramada (Wilder Selzer) accidentally inhales the transmuted brain of a young girl, then spends his time dribbling blue saliva; Minoltuh (Agnes Ausborn) grows a mosquito-like appendage on her face; Hootus (Daniel Brantley) digs up an angry furball which he outfits in patent leather shoes. Calm yourself, there's more: into this cauldron of queer behavior intrude squeaky space invaders intent on exploding buttholes. Really a rank-and-file romance, Nitwit depicts its idiosyncratic corner with cracked kindness. It's those epic tics and surly growths that make the Nitwitians such a lovable bunch. Not to be overlooked is an electronic score that would make Radio Shack proud, a cast of dizzy actors who skipped their meds, and low-budg digimations that include jockey briefs from another dimension. But how do you account for the visionary weirdness of Xan Price? I suppose he's Philip K. Dick gene-spliced to George Kuchar.
