Beginning on April Fool’s Day 2026, The Four Jacks Annotated, Uncensored will be available on Amazon in paperback, hardcover and Kindle editions. I recommend the print options. The novel includes 145 footnotes essential to the story, which are a smidge awkward to read in a Kindle format.
You may have noticed the novel is by “Robert Pavchick” and not Rich Novotney.
Why the pseudonym? Because The Four Jacks is something different. It stands apart from my other, more traditional fiction which I’ll continue to publish under my own name. Subverting the supposed sincerity of the memoir form is central to The Four Jack’s scurrilous, mendacious, and reprehensibly repugnant satire.
Do some of the story’s shenanigans spring from actual events? That would be telling. But I can assure you that any scraps of fact have been lavishly befouled by the author’s imagination. So I’ll admit this much: for those of you kind enough to visit my website, now you know the truth about Mr. Pavchick—he doesn’t exist!
Finally, the book’s unhinged humor is no less bastardized. I hope you’ll laugh hard at hard truths and hate yourself a little bit. You may hate me too. Sorry—not sorry. I don’t care, as long as you laugh.
Below, please enjoy a preview of my novel’s opening pages and its first chapter. If you like what you see, my novel will be available at Amazon on April 1st.
Thank you for your interest!
