The novel

Adventures of Bastard and M.E.

Recently revived Private Detective Bastard teams up with his old partner, Criminal Mastermind Miguel Evangelista, in this absurdist narcotic cyber-punk noir. The two cons hatch a plan to destabilize the official monopoly of institutionalized drug dependency while pushing their own product - a newly discovered wonder-drug they call White Dove. Hilarity ensues.

Join Bastard as he bumbles through a circus of a city, implausible architecture, and vast subterranean caverns of variety lights and sounds in this genre-hopping pataphysical romp. Absurd, playful and dystopic, Adventures of Bastard and M.E. is as uncategorizable as it is entertaining.

Author

Stefan O. Rak

Stefan O. Rak lives in New York City, because it makes sense. In the 1940s, his grandparents fled Ukraine for NYC, otherwise he may have never been born. As a child, some neurologists suspected that he had hypergraphia, but it turned out that he had other issues. He graduated high school a criminal musician and later got a Masters in Cinema Studies from Tisch. He has worked as an archival director, film professor, record producer, experimental music programmer, and bartender.

Stefan self-published his first novel, New Roses, which he finished in Salzburg, Austria, and at Monet's house in Giverny, in 2007; a second edition was published by Whisk(e)y Tit Books in 2019. He now owns a bar in the East Village, a few blocks from where he resides. His second novel, Adventures of Bastard and M.E., was published by Whisk(e)y Tit in February 2018. Adventures of Bastard and M.E. - The Complete Transmissions is for you to hear the voices in your head.

Interrogations

FrequentlyAskedQuestions.

What happens when the transmissions cease?

The Organization is still conducting clinical trials. Rent Your Brain at your own risk.

How can I be sure that my brain will be returned to me?

Technically, we do not hold your brain during the rental period - we simply possess it. There are no guarantees in life. But you should get what you paid for.

Is the procedure painful?

Six hours, fifty-three minutes, forty-five seconds.

Is it safe? Can the frequencies produce harmful side effects in the human receiver?

Your purchase comes with the ability to control the signals. If you feel threatened, you may pause the transmissions at any time. See above answers regarding potential health risks. I don't like repeating myself, and you're already here clicking buttons.

Does the Organization still manufacture and sell the White Dove? It sounds like a great drug, and I would like to try it. Where can I cop some? If it's as good as everyone says, I wanna set up a meet to discuss a big deal. Who is in charge of the Organization's operations, now that Bastard and M.E. are no longer in the game?

You ask too many questions. Fuck off, narc. If you were better at your job, you'd already know that I assumed every role. Narc.
