It was published by Melville House Publishing on June 4, 2019. The Los Angeles Review of Books praised the work, calling it "a pastiche in the best postmodern sense: it’s intense, invigorating, and faithful to the originals while still breaking new ground." Leonard Maltin, film critic and Rodman "colleague ... at the USC School of Cinematic Arts," praised the book, calling it a "glorious and expansive new novel." In March of 2019, the film rights to the book were acquired by the UK film company Great Point Media, and Rodman was commissioned to write the screen adaptation. (en)
