A day-in-the-life novel but what a day, what a life! Peter Dub's first novel, Hovering World, moves effortlessly from sunlight to midnight and far beyond, in passages that are by turns haunting and haunted, surreal and erotic. The arrival of a photo of an angel sets off a quest of sorts, and along the way we encounter a general named Disarray, essays in art theory, moments of passionate obsession in both the streets of the city and the opaque corridors of a gay sauna.
Hovering World is queer in all the best senses of the word non-conformist, eccentric, dissenting, crazed, aberrant and, of course, invaluable. An unforgettable debut.
Will Aitken, author of Realia
Critical Comment
Dub easily conveys not only the awe and anxiety that goes with a spiritual awakening, but also the futility of trying to contain that awakening, or even convey it, within the margins of a photograph, or the pages of a book.
Sue McCluskey, This Magazine, 2003
Dub offers the reader a full spectrum of angels, fallen and otherwise.
