Dalla quarta di copertina:
Jack Womack is the author of six novels, among them ‘Random Acts of Senseless Violence’ which received widespread critical acclaim on both sides of the Atlantic. When not writing he occupies himself smoking, shopping, smoking, reading, drinking and smoking. If he’s not doing any of these things, it’s quite possible that he’s asleep, or in Russia, whichever seems more necessary at the time.
It’s just a little later than now and Lola Hart is writing her life in a diary. She’s a nice middle-class girl on the verge of her teens who schools at the calm end of town.
A normal, happy, girl.
But in a disintegrating New York she is a dying breed. War is breaking out on Long Island, the army boys are flamethrowing the streets, five Presidents have been assassinated in a year. No one notices any more. Soon Lola and her family must move over to the Lower East side – Loisaida – to the Pit and the new language of violence of the streets.
The metamorphosis of the nice Lola Hart into the new model Lola has begun...
“Simply the coolest writer of his generation...Science fiction just doesn’t come any better than this”
NORTHERN ECHO
“Not since Kurt Vonnegut in his SF prime has there been a talent so iconoclastically sparkling as Womack’s”
MANCHESTER EVENING NEWS
“If you dropped the characters from 'Nueromancer' into Womack’s Manhattan, they’d fall down screaming and have nervous breakdowns”
WILLIAM GIBSON
