This title in other formats:Tours of the Black Clockby Steve Erickson
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Cutting a terrifying path from a Pennsylvania farm to the Europe of the 1930s, Banning Jainlight becomes the private pornographer of the world's most evil man. In a Vienna window, he glimpses the face of a lost erotic dream, and from there travels to the Twentieth Century's darkest corner to confront its shocked and secret conscience. One of Steve Erickson's most acclaimed novels, Tours of the Black Clock crosses the intersections of passion and power and gazes into a clock with no face, where memory is the gravity of time and all the numbers fall like rain. Review:"Brilliant, mesmerizing, a dazzling achievement that successfully challenges the conventions of fiction. You don't read Tours of the Black Clock so much as surrender to the dizzying stream that rushes past conventional boundaries, straight into the wounded lives of its characters." The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Review:"In Steve Erickson's apocalyptic vision, the very scroll of history has all but set itself on fire." The Boston Globe Review:"Fabulous. When the sun finally sets on this mind-ripping performance, the stars are afraid to come out." Tom Robbins About the AuthorSteve Erickson is the author of six other acclaimed novels — including Days Between Stations and Tours of the Black Clock — as well as two books about American politics and popular culture. The editor of the literary magazine Black Clock, he also writes about film for Los Angeles and teaches at CalArts.
