His first novel, The Unknown Knowns, was published by Scribner on March 17, 2009. The book is about a guy called Jim Rath who dreams of building a museum based on The Aquatic Ape Theory of human evolution while being chased by an agent from The Department of Homeland Security. Jim thinks the agent is an emissary from a lost aquatic race called Nautikons; the agent thinks Jim is a terrorist. They are both wrong.
Douglas Coupland calls The Unknown Knowns a “wonderful book - smart, tight, and funny - Confederacy of Dunces meets Linus waiting for the Great Pumpkin."
