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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePRAISE: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eA 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. \u003c\/em\u003e- \u003cstrong\u003eRichard Saxton, M12 Studio Director and Professor University of Colorado Boulder\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eZebra 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. \u003c\/em\u003e- \u003cstrong\u003eSuspect Press\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e It's a cosmic ordeal, Greg Hill's third excellent novel in a row, and a trip well worth taking. - \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMike Molnar, poet, philosopher, musician\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eA 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. \u003c\/em\u003e-\u003cstrong\u003e John Vernon, Author of Lucky Billy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThree cheers for the unforgettable former amateur basketball referee, Narwhal W.
