N Nosirrah – författare

A hysterically funny, yet profound romp through religion, spirituality and the contemporary clash of belief cultures, with special attention to the human obsession with knowing what can't be known. Nosirrah provokes just about everyone as he describes a world where God is on the run from Islamic extremists, the Pope announces he shares a bed with Sam Harris, and Buddha's son disappoints by getting enlightened instead of becoming a doctor.

Some have called this book the greatest novella of the modern era, others have named it the finest example of philosophical thinking in the last fifty years. Scholars have declared it a rare and astounding menippean satire, a seriocomic stroll through the carnival of life. Unfortunately few of these admiring critics were sober; those that were not inebriated were of questionable sanity; and none were willing to be quoted here. This is a new and revolutionary book in which the reader constructs the meaning of what is read, and what the obsequious critics missed is that without their construction there is no meaning at all contained within these pages.

Anyone who agrees that the hype around the 2012 prophecies needs skewering, and who enjoys penetrating wit served up with a healthy dose of enlightened perspective, will find that 2013 is the essential guide to survival and prosperity when the world ends. Whether that end comes through a meteor impact, a viral pandemic, a changing climate, or simply the wrath of God, N Nosirrah offers a brief escape from the overwhelming terror that can come when facing the end of the world. He explores the end times and world monetary collapse with insights that are undaunted by their self-contradictions, witticism that never lets up, and the promise of multi-level marketing. This is a self-help survival manual cum novella for the reality-challenged, explores the place where profit is made, a place found between our world of fiction and the unseen world of truth, and suggests that it is possible to make a fortune, get enlightened, and laugh uproariously when the world ends. If "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" took you to the edge, 2013 will push you over.

N Nosirrah is considered by his followers to be perhaps the most notable writer and speaker of the past century on the Way of the Mystic, while his critics insist that the man is functionally illiterate, a fraud, and possibly a lunatic. Nosirrah himself maintains that since neither he, his fans, nor his critics exist, he is therefore in an unknowable state beyond any form of praise or critique. As such, the author was unable to authorise his own autobiography, which appears before us today as the remarkable spiritual memoir Practical Obsession. In this magnum opus, the enigmatic mystic reveals himself in great detail, including the fact that he died shortly after birth and that a rare genetic disorder produced in him an enlightened state in early childhood. A true master of consciousness, he recounts his travels through the inner and outer worlds, topping them off with a tender tale of love. Readers will find that the mystic's life itself is a radiant message for humankind. According to the publisher, "few lives have been as fascinating as the life of Nosirrah, or could point so directly to the essential truths of our existence, and more importantly, perhaps, to our non-existence".
