About The Book

In this remarkable spiritual memoir, written by one of the most astonishing and enigmatic mystics of the modern era, Nosirrah takes us through the arc of his life from his birth, which he claims never actually happened, to his own death, amazingly described by Nosirrah himself in great detail. He recounts the rollicking events that occurred as this spiritual genius encountered the unfolding of his life and his message for humankind. Scholars will no doubt study this tome to help explain the brilliant writings of a man who so transcended his own existence that he was unable to authorize his own autobiography.

About The Author

N. Nosirrah is a writer of uncertain origin, unstable biography, and questionable public record. He is the author of multiple books that were either deeply influential or immediately regretted, but nonetheless heralded as modern classics. His work has been described as philosophy, anti-philosophy, performance art, unsolicited revelation, and totally unnecessary.

He is believed to have once held a series of identities long enough to lose track of which ones were legally binding. At various points, he has been reported as a mystic, a con artist, a dropout from reality, and a man in possession of too many metaphors for one lifetime.

Nosirrah does not currently maintain a public presence, a fixed address, or a consistent opinion about anything he has written. Whether he is an author or simply a literary misunderstanding remains unresolved.
