Publisher Marketing: "In this remarkable book, lyric fabulist Manuel Paul López embeds parallel worlds that unite dreamtime and memory's 'syllabus of smoke.' Episodes relate the perils of youth and the absurdity of a 'state-sanctioned self' amid the social fevers here and now, along with the exquisitely berserk stagecraft needed to mount a present-day rebellion of the senses ... Nerve Curriculum is the thrilling confirmation of a unique élan that can fuel the Latinx imagination. López accommodates us with ample poetic vitality and a surrealist regard for releasing personhood from having to 'live perpetually on the verge of living.'"--Roberto Tejada
