<DIV><DIV><b>In an alternate Los Angeles, a young man uncovers a life-changing cinematic secret</b></div><DIV><BR>Hailed as one of Erickson&rsquo;s finest and most daring novels, <i>Zeroville</i> is a unique love letter to film. It centers on the story of Vikar, a young architecture student so enthralled with the movies that his friends call him &ldquo;<i>cin&eacute;autistic</i>.&rdquo; With an intensely religious childhood behind him, and tattoos of Elizabeth Taylor and Montgomery Clift on his head, he arrives in Hollywood where he&rsquo;s mistaken for a member of the Charles Manson &ldquo;family&rdquo; and eventually scores a job as a film editor. Vikar discovers the frames of a secret film within the reels of every movie ever made, and sets about splicing them together&mdash;an undertaking that takes on frightening theological dimensions. Electrifying and darkly comic, <i>Zeroville </i>dives into the renegade American cinema of the &rsquo;70s and &rsquo;80s and emerges into an era for which we have no name.<BR></div></div>
