Summary

An unapologetic embrace of the nightlife under the motto `Meet girls. Take drugs. Listen to music', RAVE attempts to capture the feel of debauchery from within while critiquing the media structures that contribute to the `epochality' of pop culture phenomena.

Rave Summary

Rave by Rainald Goetz

'Meet girls. Take drugs. Listen to music.' In RAVE, cult German novelist Rainald Goetz takes a headlong dive into nineties techno culture. From the cathartic release on the dance oor to the intense conversations in corners of nightclubs and the after-parties in the light of dawn, this exhilarating, fragmentary novel captures the feeling of debauchery from within. Dazzling and intimate, RAVE is an unapologetic embrace of nightlife from an author unafraid to lose himself in the subject of his work.

Rave Reviews

'To sample an old saying: if you can remember the nineties,you weren't there. Rainald Goetz was there, and found a form in which to summon the sensations and sounds, the highs and the bass, of techno culture. This is a classic cut from a fabled era that will enrich the mix of today's rave culture - and fills in the memory hole for some of us old-timers.'- McKenzie Wark, author of THE BEACH BENEATH THE STREET

About Rainald Goetz

Rainald Goetz, born in 1954 in Munich, studied History and Medicine in Munich and obtained a doctoral degree in both subjects. He briefly worked as a doctor, but quit this profession for the sake of literature in his early thirties. His first novel, INSANE, was published in 1983. In 1998, Goetz wrote the internet diary 'Rubbish for Everyone', probably the first literary blog in Germany, with entries on the world of media and consumerism. It was published in book form in 1999 and together with RAVE, JEFF KOONS, CELEBRATION and DECONSPIRATION belongs to THIS MORNING, his great history of the present. Goetz has been awarded numerous prizes, most notably the Georg Buchner Prize in 2015. He lives in Berlin.
