(1921-2019) US academic and author of a desultory Postmodern Dystopia, Kayo: The Authentic and Annotated Autobiographical Novel from Outer Space (1987), a story within a story within a story told ultimately by a narrator whose name – Ohcnas, Sancho [Panza] spelled backwards – and whose crime – he kills the Nod – confesses McConkey's Satirical, deflating intent. The Alternate-World version of America presented inter alia is of a nightmare of Theme Parks quintessentialized into a single, overarching, poisonous Keep. [JC]
