The Coyote Kings of the Space-Age Bachelor Pad

The Coyote Kings of the Space-Age Bachelor Pad is a comic science fiction novel and social satire written by Canadian writer and activist Malcolm Azania under the pen name of "Minister Faust".

Set in Edmonton in 1995, it follows two main characters: Hamza, Sudanese-Canadian former honours English student working as a dishwasher, and Yehat, a Trinidadian-Canadian, a video store clerk and inventor.

Hazma and his Coyote Crew fight the Meanys to capture the great jar that holds ancient secrets of Egyptian knowledge and to unravel the truth.

"Minister Faust brings their world alive in a jumpy, hold-nothing-back style," wrote Gerald Jonas in the New York Times Book Review.

"With an attention to detail and an eye for the absurd," wrote reviewer Rick Klaw in the Austin Chronicle, "it is as if Faust channeled Mark Twain to write a Neal Stephenson novel."
