What’s it like to be a loser? The Hollywood/mainstream conception of loserdom—being a drug addict or in a lame band—doesn’t work at all. Everyone knows drugs are fun despite all the Puritan propaganda, and even bad musicians in bad bands get laid more often than the average cubicle drone. A loser is someone who lacks the basic necessities to be accepted in society; money, status, sex. True loserdom by definition is something that’s scarce in fiction because it’s so mundane, and no sane person wants to read a book that will, to some degree, reflect his wretched existence.

I must be insane then, because I loved The Talkative Corpse.

The latest release from NVSQVAM (Nowhere) author Ann Sterzinger, The Talkative Corpse is a paean to the modern American loser. The kind of loser we see every day and have possibly been at some point. The kind of loser no one wants to acknowledge, because his mere existence puts a blowtorch to the lies of mainstream culture. And Sterzinger’s portrait of modern American loserdom is so bitingly funny that it’s a must-read.

The Talkative Corpse actually begins as a frame story, an expansion upon the footnotes used in NVSQVAM (Nowhere). Set in the far future after the collapse of America, the book is the diary of one “John Jaggo,” presented with “translator’s notes” and footnotes much in the same way that we read ancient Greek or Roman texts like the Odyssey. John Jaggo is, by any reasonable definition, a loser. Forty years old, he’s employed at an embarrassingly low level for his age: making minimum wage at a pizza joint. His co-workers and boss routinely belittle him and denigrate his masculinity. He has few friends and no social life, spending his nights hammering away at his diary and drinking away his meager paychecks.
