Reviews of Neoist Books

What exactly is a "Neoist Book"?! I have my doubts that there's a definitive answer to that - just as I have my doubts that there's a single definition of Neoism that makes it all 'clear'. Some writers have acted like there's such a thing but they're either people with ulterior career motives or imitators of people with ulterior career motives.

Perhaps a "Neoist Book" has "neoism" or "neoist" in the title, perhaps its author is "Monty Cantsin". Perhaps that was once 'true' but is no longer. The few books I've picked below are ones I'm willing to admit into the category. Other people's choices would probably be largely different. Strangely, when I was looking through my Reviewer's Bibliography for books to put here many things were missing that I expected to find. Maybe that will all become clear someday.
