This title in other editionsDays Between Stationsby Steve Erickson
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:In a world of cataclysm and unraveled time, a young woman's face, a misbegotten childhood in a Parisian brothel, and the fragment of a lost movie masterpiece are the only clues in a man's search for his past. Steve Erickson's Days Between Stations is the stunning, now classic dream-spec of our precarious age — by turns beautiful and obsessed, haunted and hallucinated, in which lives erotically collide, the past ambushes the future, and forbidden secrets intercut with each other like the frames of a film. Review:"There isn't a risk that Steve Erickson hasn't taken in this novel. One gets the feeling that he's laid everything on the line." Los Angeles Times Review:"One of the most important writers of his generation. Erickson's work feels like right here, right now. Against it, most new fiction reads like it was written by stenographers." The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Review:"Erickson is a gambler, one of the fabulous mythmakers who are needed in these times of deprivation of the imagination." The New York Times Book Review Synopsis:A fragment of a film, a young woman's face are the only clues in a man's search for his pastfrom hallucinatory Los Angeles where the freeways are buried in sand and dust storms obscure the sun to a Paris where the lights have gone out and bonfires burn in the streets. Lives intercut with each other and past joins future in a seamless flow, while the present remains elusive and fleeting. Steve Erickson's hypnotic, first novel is a dreamscape where imagination and reality collide and merge.
