Some of the classic works of 20^th century fiction got their start in Paris: Hemingway’s In Our Time, Joyce’s Ulysses, Miller’s Tropic of Capricorn, and Nabokov’s Lolita.

Now with Gallimard presenting the French translation Ludlow Press is proud to issue WILL@epicqwest.com in its premier, long-awaited English edition.

In vividly compressed comic form, WILL@epicqwest.com takes the reader on a contemporary quest that is as cyberspatially and pharmaceutically fantastic as anything Ulysses encountered on his trek home from Troy.

In a daring cross between Voltaire's Candide and Stanley Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove, WILL@epicqwest.com follows the post-post modern exploits of our hero, WILL, a medicated college student on his heroic quest to uncover the truth behind a new virus that threatens to wipe-out all of humanity: IS (Information Sickness).

Helping him in his calling are a whole lot of psychotropic drugs―his faithful companion and always-handy, chatty laptop, Spunk®―and his virology lab partner and centerfold, wish-fulfillment fantasy ultra-babe, Naomi.
