Description:
<DIV><DIV><b>A washed-up novelist navigates the dreamscape of a cataclysm-ravaged Los Angeles </b></div><DIV><BR>In the apocalyptic Los Angeles of <i>Amnesiascope</i>, 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, <i>Amnesiascope</i> enflames the reader’s memory.<BR></div></div>
