Novel Explosives by Jim Gauer (Zerogram Press, 2016) is an experimental novel that tells three interrelated stories set in Los Angeles, Ciudad Juárez, and Guanajuato. The novel is named after a thermobaric weapon introduced by the US Marine Corps during the 2003 Invasion of Iraq called a "Novel Explosive" (SMAW-NE). There are many references to the poet Fernando Pessoa. Jeff Bursey writing for Numéro Cinq described the novel as having Quentin Tarantino-like action sequences paired with metafictional flourishes.
