E.M. Schorb's Resurgius is a quietly hilarious read which, unique though it is, strikes me as belonging to the very league as the comic gems of Evelyn Waugh and Nathaniel West. It abounds in delec-table tongue-in-cheek wit. Your price of admis-sion will be richly re-paid by the character of Bettina Battle, a woman with all the subtlety of a battering ram, in hot pursuit of sexual satisfaction from Serge, the dorky antihero. Among its other dis-tinc-tions, Resurgius is a master-piece of style, so skill-fully written that it would be hard to change a word without a worsen-ing. This comes as no sur-prise; Schorb for a long while has stood out among our finer poets, with tremendous assets of im-agina-tion, powers of invention, and the ability to polish his words to a sheen. This is a book to give to dis-cerning friends, to cherish on a permanent shelf, and to wolf down immediately, being regaled. -X.J. Kennedy Schorb's offbeat plot-following a young male author who lives with five forceful women-is clever and amusing. He employs several made up words to describe various acts-which are wildly funny-and his prose is as witty as it is creative. -Publishers Weekly, The BookLife Prize
