by Matthew Licht
Paperback / softback
Description
'From the East Village to West Hollywood, from avant-garde poetry to pre-internet pornography, these stories - touching, scabrous, brutal - tell it like it is.
Matthew Licht's effortlessly inventive language, dark and tender, sexually charged, free-wheeling, whimsical, regretful, rummages through the cultural detritus of our crazy mythos, and comes up sweet and headily evocative as roses.' -Charles Lambert, author of Any Human Face and The View from the TowerJustine's a famous poet.
Joe's a self-styled Private Investigator without a clue.
The Garbageman has cleaned his mind through immersion in filth.
What he has to offer his clients, and even his enemies, is serenity.
Three characters in search of a reader: you. 'Nobody can push an envelope harder or further than Matthew Licht, though he's not all shock value.
There's also intelligence, wit and surprising craft here.' -Dian Hanson, author of Naked as a Jaybird'Matthew Licht is an original and a rarity.
His writing is smart, warm, engaging but also contains a healthy dose of New York "Fuck you!".' -Geoff Nicholson, author of Bedlam Burning'His goal is to disturb rather than enlighten, to impale human folly and absurdity, to unpeel the intellectual bankruptcy of our times.' -John Thackray
