<p>&ldquo;One of the drollest and most inspired creations of Tito Perdue&rsquo;s imagination is the &lsquo;escrubilator&rsquo; a piece of technology whose multifarious features and functions make it as impossible for the reader to visualize as Gogol&rsquo;s nose that abandoned its owner and left town disguised as a civil servant. Tito Perdue&rsquo;s nineteenth novel <em>The Gizmo </em>tells the story of how a small group of misanthropic septuagenarian geniuses created the escrubilator to escrubilate the whole modern world. But like all technologies this one seems to have escaped the control of its creators.&rdquo;&mdash;Greg Johnson author of <em>Toward a New Nationalism</em></p>
