The Driftless Trilogy

Rick Harsch

4.9/5 (20153 ratings)

Description:Rick Harsch's satirical noir trilogy, consisting of The Driftless Zone, Billy Verite, and The Sleep of Aborigines have long been out of print. Generally well reviewed, if seldom, the books with their variegated styles, registers, and post-modern inventiveness, have maintained a lively base of readers who have expressed the desire to obtain these books, all victims of translation into a French language press that went bankrupt at the crucial moment two of them were ready to be widely disseminated in pocket form. Now corona/samizdat has brought the three together in a small, fat pocket book with the playfullness of the author on full display in the presentation, beginning with a single blurb on the cover written by a reader from Australia, a cover design by the inimitable cover artist Jason Snyder, whose shadow of a cockroach over an evocative mulit-colored map of the driftless area of the books domain captures much of the thematic aspects of the book, and the back of the book that is in violation of polite publishing norms in three aspects: a) the blurb is about the author instead of the books; b) the description of the books is managed through a suggestive and lengthy disclaimer; and, finally, c) the author photo is a shot of the author from behind as he graps the James Joyce, in statue form in Trieste, crossing Ponte Rosso, by the crotch. It must be noted that the three novels within, though of the noir genre, certainly play by their own rules as well. They are funny, dark, works that would please the original dadaists of a century ago.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
