Beige And Black Bathrooms

Steve Erickson

even survived a mass suicide on behalf of the end of the century, Kristin is on the run forever, even if it is not clear who or what to run, if not from their past. And 'evident from the first pages of The sea comes at midnight that "the reason that it continued to move forward was just that there was nothing behind, to which he could come back." E 'on its last legs, penniless, hungry and cold, and even a listing crazy and not at all reassuring in a newspaper appears to him as a possibility, a bed, maybe a hot meal. Know as the occupier, a man with too many demons behind him and only one obsession: the Apocalyptic calendar, or an array of dates and events that according to his hallucination, would provide the staff time or a map of the time or the time for dreams or something. Kristin el'Occupante, with its stories, it would be sufficient to understand why Thomas Pynchon said Steve Erickson, who "has the rare gift of being able to transcribe and light the night side of reality" and are only the beginning: The sea comes at midnight twisting spiral after spiral, with the lives of the characters that are screwed into each other, almost creating an impossible family scattered to the four corners of the world. From New York (with a side of snuff movie) to Paris (which also saw Arc d'X, a city must be especially close to Steve Erickson), from the hills of Los Angeles to Tokyo: obsessions, pain , fears weigh on the players who seem to wander aimlessly chasing dreams or memories or both as "a dream is a thing of the future." Steve Erickson not only makes clear the geography of routes, revealing the thin plot that ties all the individual lives, but highlights the facts, every single gesture, the obsessions and habits of putting the reader to understand that "things never happen in slow motion, says people. Happen much faster than people can understand, and it is only the memory that takes place in slow motion. " The design of The sea comes at midnight is completed only at the end (or patience, or are carried away by events: there are no other possibilities) when all sequences are now lined up like frame buildings and becomes intelligible to the intimate nature of writing that Steve Erickson has an almost prophetic gift when he says: "Suppose I could do it all again, changing everything. If I left a bit 'more to faith and a little' less vision, if I could take back the first lie that has a broken heart, if you are looking for a smaller result I could get something bigger if I had not done what I did, and if I had done what I did. " It 's a narrative free from the rigidity of patterns, languages, and theories already The sea comes at midnight itself as one of the more disturbing, possibility that the acute and visionary novel, in general, before the its future.
