Zebra Skin Shirt

Written by Gregory Hill

Narrated by Gregory Hill

The sun's been setting for several months. Nobody's blinking. And no matter how hard he blows, the referee's whistle doesn't make a sound. Time to make up some new rules.

With audacious humor, unpredictable turns, and outlandish calls, Zebra Skin Shirt is the brilliantly-conceived conclusion/solution to Gregory Hill’s Strattford County Series.

Before the clocks stopped, Narwhal Slotterfield was an ordinary basketball referee. He blew his whistle. He stretched the rules. He even had a girlfriend.

But then the clock thing happened. 

Now it’s 7:23 pm, Narwhal’s in a diner in the middle of the Great Plains, and now is all he’s got. 

Left to wander a planet where people stand like manikins and raindrops never reach the earth, our ref soon realizes he has the power to officiate the universe itself, an endeavor that leads him along a philosophical mobius strip wrapped around the world as tightly as a wedding ring. 

A love story, in other words. 

DANGER! THIS NOVEL CONTAINS DESCRIPTIONS OF: Hallucinatory drugs, self-loathing, time-warpage, and numerous flashbacks. Also: fifty-eight instances of the word fuck.

Gregory Hill

Gregory Hill grew up on the eastern edge of the American west, on a wheat farm near a tiny Colorado town called Joes. His relationship with that anarchic, windswept region in the heart of America continues to this day; and his novels are saturated in the area's wildlife, language, and gleeful insanity. Relying extensively on desperate characters in barren landscapes, his work is a relentlessly adventurous, unapologeticaly literate antidote to the myth of the wholesome, God-fearing heartland.
