Aiden Jowdorsky is a struggling writer in his early thirties whose wife has mysteriously disappeared.
Through chance encounters, Aiden meets a young ingénue, Meg Wallace, who resembles his wife.
However, this woman claims to be the daughter of Paul Auster Wallace: a postmodern author dead by suicide following the completion of his final masterwork.
During their unusual meeting, Meg slips Aiden the only copy of her father’s posthumous novel...
Suddenly Meg is gone, only to reappear within Wallace’s book, alongside Aiden - as he reads along...
Meanwhile, in the shadows, lurks avant-garde filmmaker David Pynchon - hunting Meg and Aiden, and hoping to adapt Wallace’s novel into a cinema of Armageddic proportions.
Xuicutil is at once a literary portal into the mysteries of love and loss, and an absurdist inquiry on the limitations of language.

Until only recently, Vera Luria was one of many jaded art professors in the quaint town of Orange Grove, teaching Performance and English at Tesseract College of Liberal Studies.
However, she has of late found her world turned catastrophically upsidedown: with the impossible resurgence of her deceased grandfather, neuroanatomist A.R. Luria – whose urn and ashes have mysteriously disappeared...
Meanwhile, Vera has ongoing cataclysmic problems with her precocious adopted son, she's receiving ominous messages (delivered by a strange-faced deviance known only as The Man With Broken Teeth) concerning an aborted fetus reportedly in her family lineage…
And this mysterious fetus - supposedly containing a “Central Nervous System anomaly” within its preformed skull - is also now missing.
Plus a migraine-producing garbage disposal that’s really splitting her apart...
A novel about the creation of art - and the creation of itself as a questionable piece of reality – the discoveries of Orange Grove’s art school inhabitants expose reality to be, just as questionably, a piece of fiction.
Endlessly inverting, Orange Grove in the Nightmare will literally create itself inside your head.
