Liminal States
Author: Zack Parsons
Publisher: Kensington Publishing Corp.
ISBN: 0806535512
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 448
Book Description
“An awe-inspiring, helter-skelter journey through mind-blowing SF, western dime novel, noir mystery, and near-future dystopian horror” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). The debut novel from Zack Parsons, editor of the Something Awful website and author of My Tank Is Fight!, is a mind-bending journey through time and genres. Beginning in 1874, with a blood-soaked western story of revenge, Liminal States follows a trio of characters through a 1950s noir detective story and twenty-first-century sci-fi horror. Their paths are tragically intertwined—and their choices have far-reaching consequences for the course of American history. It’s a remarkable mashup that “somehow manages to become a cohesive, thought-provoking whole . . . There’s no way a novel with this many moving parts should hold together, but it does, and even readers initially daunted by the jumble will soon be glad to go wherever Parsons takes them” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). “Parsons’s debut is a tour-de-force, a justifiably showy demonstration of the author’s chameleon-like ability to write in several genres all at once, and it emerges as one of the scariest and bleakest tales I can remember.” —Cory Doctorow

Grievous Angel
Author: Jessica Hundley
Publisher: Da Capo Press
ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 298
Book Description
"He was a member of the Byrds and founder and frontman of the Flying Burrito Brothers. He was best friend to Keith Richards and mentor to Emmylou Harris. And he revolutionized music, combining country and rock when the two were like oil and water. Gram Parsons may have been only twenty-six when he died in 1973, but he was already well on his way to becoming one of the most influential musicians of all time." "A collaboration between journalist Jessica Hundley and Gram's daughter, Polly Parsons, Grievous Angel is part biography, part visual scrapbook - a compilation of conversations and never-before-seen photos and unpublished letters, all interwoven with a retelling of Gram's tale." "Featuring dozens of interviews with everyone from Bright Eyes and Elvis Costello to Willie Nelson and Steve Earle, Grievous Angel is an exploration of how Gram's legacy has spanned the decades, still inspiring both his contemporaries and today's artists, thirty-odd years after his tragic death."--BOOK JACKET.
