Expected science fiction, but got the narrators view on life in general, and women in particular in detail. Trying to decide if it was very profound, or a waste of time... ( ) I devoured this book in 24 hours... This was too good to be true and completely impossible to put down. Let me start out by saying, if you are a fan of Kathe Koja, you should really check out Steve Erickson, and vice versa. You will thank me later, trust me! They have a similar writing style, which I believe is referred to a "stream of consciousness". Erickson and Koja also have a secretive way of writing a GRITTY original story that begins to crawl around your brain like a venomous predator snake. Please don't expect all your lose ends to be tied up into a pretty bow, also don't expect a superior plotline that has a start middle and end. No, perhaps there isn't an actual POINT to this book, this is more of a STYLE, a breath of fresh air, a glance at an illuminated world, you feel like you are submerging yourself in a dark tunnel and spit out into another planet. THE IMAGERY!! The original characters that you just want to meet, and pick through their personal items and read their diaries and know them inside and out. This is the sort of book that drops you flat on your back in the middle of a strange human's life and atmosphere... you feel naiive and perhaps a bit vulnerable and exposed to unknown elements. After you venture out a little bit and begin to feel comfortable, you are kicked right back into your NORMAL monotonous world. Ok, the Joke is over, Lemme back in Erickson... :( geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
A washed-up novelist navigates the dreamscape of a cataclysm-ravaged Los Angeles In the apocalyptic Los Angeles of Amnesiascope, time zones multiply freely, spectral figures roam the streets, and rings of fire separate the city from the rest of the country. The narrator, a former novelist, lives in a hotel and writes film criticism for a newspaper whose offices are located in a bombed-out theater. Viv, his girlfriend, is a sexually voracious artist, and together the two are collaborating on an avant-garde pornographic film. But in this world, what's real and what's merely the conjuring of the protagonist's imagination--obsessed with dreams, movies, sex, and remembrance--is far from clear. At once outrageous and hypnotically lyrical, Amnesiascope enflames the reader's memory. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
