Steve Erickson Ordine dei libri (cronologico)

Zeroville begins in 1969 on Hollywood Boulevard, when a Greyhound bus drops off a film-obsessed ex-seminarian with images of Elizabeth Taylor and Montgomery Clift tattooed on his head. Vikar Jerome steps into the vortex of a cultural transformation: rock ’n’ roll, sex, drugs, and — far more important to him — the decline of the movie studios and the rise of the independent director. Jerome will become a film editor of astonishing vision. Then through encounters with former starlets, burglars, political guerillas, punk musicians, and veteran filmmakers, he discovers the astonishing secret that lies in every movie ever made.

Im Jahr 1999 springt eine Weltuntergangssekte von einer Klippe, doch die siebzehnjährige Kristin flieht und findet Zuflucht bei einem geheimnisvollen Mann in Los Angeles. Dort entdeckt sie einen Kalender, der historische Katastrophen verknüpft und erkennt, dass auch ihr Schicksal darin verzeichnet ist. Ein Roman voller verrückter Ideen und philosophischer Gedanken.

It's New Year's Eve 1999, and the members of a powerful cult are about to commit ritual suicide. Fleeing their ranks at the final moment, teenager Kristin lands in Tokyo, where she gains employment listening to clients' stories in a "memory hotel" designed to address the decay of collective memory after the Second World War. But Kristin herself has a startling odyssey: Among other things, it involves answering a personal ad only to wind up imprisoned, naked, in an empty house presided over by a man known as the Occupant, hard at work on a millennial calendar that has serious implications for the future. "The Sea Came in at Midnight" is a breathtaking fable of redemption and one of Erickson's most impressive visions to date.

Der zweite, äußerst einfallsreiche Roman dieses vielgelobten, jungen Schriftstellers aus Los Angeles. Diese Geschichte ist eine Warnung an diejenigen, die den Mut fehlen, den Rubikon ihrer Fantasie zu überschreiten.

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.
