Katzman's M7 captures the essence of what delights us, puzzles us, and ultimately frustrates our best plans for order and meaning in life. Katzman expertly weaves sense into nonsense and dresses us in a big ridiculous coat of words as he nudges us toward the mirror where, stunned to recognize ourselves, we surrender to laughter. I was dizzy by the end of it.' - John Clay, editor, bhag.net'M7 is wildly imaginative, irreverent, and funny. Katzman takes us on a joyride through a bizarre, Kafkaesque landscape where bureaucratic absurdities abound. The main character of this novel navigates a sprawling institution that defies logic, even the dimensions of time and space. Nothing escapes Katzman's comic genius-not sex, religion, hierarchy, esoteric mysteries, or even language itself.

More than that, with M7, Katzman unabashedly and seriously vivisects both the sacred and the profane, adroitly (and delightfully) illustrating how that flimsily fabricated papier-mâché wall dividing those two realms can easily crumble to dust with a simple (yet deft) little keystroke.'- Peter Yates Hodshon, Piltdown Man Publishing, author of there once was a man.
