“Possibly the most important book of our lifetime…”
— Fahad Al-Amoudi, author of When The Flies Come

 

“I’ve never seen Paul Blart: Mall Cop and I vow I never will, because it could never live up to what Andrew Blair has created here. Hilarious in many places and genuinely powerful in many others, this pamphlet deserves to be read (and re-read) by Kevin James enthusiasts and Kevin James non-enthusiasts everywhere.”

— Ross Sayers, author of Sonny and Me and Daisy on the Outer Line.

 

“I was speechless with contempt.”
— Reviewer

 

“Whether or not you have seen Paul Blart there is something in this pamphlet that will speak to you, from the opening a cascading matrix of letters I was hooked. There’s a real beauty and playfulness with structure. If you are looking for a story (aren’t we all?) this pamphlet is for you.”

 — Jake Wild Hall, Bad Betty Press

 

“We’re going to have to kill the writer with hammers.”
— Reviewer

 

Let’s make one thing clear: polblar tmolkop by Andrew Blair is not an endorsement of the 2009 film Paul Blart: Mall Cop. If anything, it is an explanation. One that defies explanation itself. In a series of experimental, ludic poems Blair takes us through a series of conversations between the actor and writer Kevin James, and an ambiguous disembodied entity called Polblar.

Andrew Blair is a poet, writer and performer living in Edinburgh. His work has featured in Gutter, Umbrellas of Edinburgh and The Last Song: Words for Frightened Rabbit. His debut collection, An Intense Young Man at an Open Mic Night, was published in 2017 by House of Three press, and his pamphlet The R-Pattz Facttz 2020 was released through Speculative Books.”
