Before the clocks stopped, Narwhal Slotterfield was an ordinary basketball referee. He blew his whistle. He stretched the rules. Somehow he kept a girlfriend. Now it's 7:23 pm in a diner in the middle of the Great Plains and The Now is all he has. Wandering a world where raindrops never reach the earth, and humans are frozen like manikins, our ref soon realizes he has the power to officiate the universe itself. Watch out, world. Narwhal Slotterfield has a score to settle.

PRAISE:

A psychedelic tale of adventure and love unfolding on Hill's beloved Eastern Colorado Plains. Our hero and narrator, Narwhal Slotterfield, treks through tornadoes, gutted homesteads and survivalist compounds all while navigating an alternative time/space reality. He's on a journey of self-discovery that resonates as an experimental love song to rural culture on the plains. - Richard Saxton, M12 Studio Director and Professor University of Colorado Boulder

Zebra Skin Shirt is an excellent novel from an author that clearly understands the stupidity, chaos and madness of existence, and isn't afraid to embrace it all and put it on the page. - Suspect Press

It's a cosmic ordeal, Greg Hill's third excellent novel in a row, and a trip well worth taking. - Mike Molnar, poet, philosopher, musician

A basketball referee with the Pynchonesque name of Narwal Slotterfield orders a hamburger at a diner in eastern Colorado and time stops across the universe. What happens after that becomes a funhouse-mirror holograph of a novel produced by Slotterfield's cornered brain as it tries to understand this new world. Time hasn't stopped, he learns, it has just slowed down, slow enough to allow Gregory Hill's wild story to unfold in completely unexpected ways. - John Vernon, Author of Lucky Billy

Three cheers for the unforgettable former amateur basketball referee, Narwhal W. Slotterfield, and his creator, the wildly imaginative Gregory Hill. - Mike Keefe, Political Cartoonist

A brilliantly-executed, fascinating, and relentlessly hilarious immersion into the Twilight Zone as it exists on the plains of Eastern Colorado. Hill's imagination on full-blast is a force of nature. This ranks with the best of Vonnegut's mind-benders, but with more laughs page-for-page. - Zach Boddicker, author of The Essential Carl Mahogany
