Going, Going, Gone by Jack Womack
Ambient, Terraplane, Heathern, Elvissey, Random Acts of Senseless Violence -- five volumes of Womack's ground-breaking AMBIENT sequence. Going Going Gone is the stylish, surprising finale. 21st Century New York. Megacorporations rule, particularly Dryco -- symbol: a smiley face seen on everything. In reality, a murderously ruthless organisation bent on world domination, and they're almost there...
'Nazi flying saucers over an alternate 50s Memphis, the cross-time abduction of Elvis Presley, and what must surely be one of the flat-out weirdest Fisher King inversions yet perpetrated in American literature.. delivers a jarringly potent kick in the head. I can only urge you to put yours cleanly it's way' WILLIAM GIBSON On LET'S PUT THE FUTURE BEHIND US: 'Dark, brilliant and deeply worrying. Much like Russia itself.' ESQUIRE 'I don't expect to read a funnier and more profound book this year, and you shouldn't either.' TIME OUT
Jack Womack was born in Kentucky in 1956. Having survived a Kafka-esque childhood, he travelled to New York, saw it with an outsider's eye and has never been the same since. In Womack's novels, New York is strange and unsettling, a city of joy and pain, horror and transcendence. Dubbed 'the coolest writer of his generation', Womack is the favourite author of William Gibson.
