Synopsis

Reviews

Information

Dogma finds Lars and W still, continually and without cease, arguing, although this time in a different country. This time out, the duo embarks on a trip to the American Deep South, where, in company with a band of Canadians who may or may not be related to W, they attempt to form a new religion based on their philosophical studies. Their mission is soon derailed by their inability to take meaningful action, their endless bickering, the peculiar behavior of the natives, and by a true catastrophe: they can't seem to find a liquor store that carries their brand of gin.

Praise For "Spurious"

"A tiny marvel of comically repetitive gloomery.... [A] wonderfully monstrous creation."
--Steven Poole, "The Guardian"

"What could be more fun than laughing at intellectuals? I'm still laughing, and it's days later."
--Susan Salter Reynolds, "The Los Angeles Times"

"There's a lot of biting satire about the shortcomings and general foolishness of the so-called life of the mind. This is graduate student wit, which is fearsomely funny."
--Carolyn See, "The Washington Post"

"Viciously funny."
--"San Francisco Chronicle"
