Summary.
"Never Mind Nirvana" is set in the Seattle music scene. A "Publishers Weekly" reviewer stated, "For those who were or are part of the scene Lindquist chronicles, the colorful legal battle and the hordes of monosyllabic hipsters who swarm through this world-weary paean to Seattle may indeed resonate."

pitch perfect ... it feels as if we will see a movie called "Never Mind Nirvana" in the multiplexes sometime next year. But it won't be as good as the book." 
Stephanie Zacharek in the "New York Times" stated that "Books that draw on the richness of pop culture can be pure delight, or they can be too taken with their own cleverness to make much of an impression. Mark Lindquist's third novel, "Never Mind Nirvana," falls somewhere in the middle."
