Xman (sometimes referred to as XMAN) is Michael Brodsky's third novel. It tells the parody philosophical tale of Xman, a universal nobody who arrives in Manhattan and drifts between arguments, interviews, accidents, hospitals, derelicts, terrorists, and death. Xman is noted for its lack of conventional characters or dialogue. The plot is picaresque. Ontological discussion is the norm, especially in regard to symptoms, labels, captions, bracketing, impersonation, and the true work. Xman was described as a "highly regarded avant-garde novel," an example of what small presses are capable of.
