Gone Tomorrow: A Novel by Gary Indiana (English) Paperback Book

Description: Gone Tomorrow by Gary Indiana, Sarah Nicole Prickett Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description A story of sex and madness on the set of an art film set in Colombia, as told by an actor who survived to look back on it all in the cold light of day. Publisher Description The narrator of Gone Tomorrow is an actor who has been cast in an unlikely art film set in Colombia. But from the moment he arrives at the airport in Bogota, only to witness a policeman beat a beggar half to death for no apparent reason, it becomes clear that this will not be the story of gritty bohemians triumphing against the odds. The director, Paul Grasvenor, seems more interested in manipulating his cast than shooting film. The cult star, Irma Irma, is a vamp too bored and boring to draw blood. And the incomparably beautiful Michael Simard doesnt seem to be putting out. Meanwhile, the films shady financier appears to be sleeping with his mother, and a serial killer is skulking around the area killing tourists. Everything comes to a head when the carnaval celebration comes to nearby Cali. But once the fiesta comes to an end, all thats left is the memory and the narrators insistence on telling the tale. "Unlike the majority of pointedly AIDS-era novels," writes Dennis Cooper, "Gone Tomorrow is neither an amoral nostalgia fest nor a thinly veiled wake-up call hyping the religion of sobriety. Its a philosophical work devised by a writer whos both too intelligent to buy into the notion that a successful future requires the compromise of collective decision and too moral to accept bitterness as the consequence of an adventurous life." Author Biography An actor, playwright, photographer poet, critic, and novelist who has chronicled the despair and hysteria of America in the late twentieth century, Gary Indiana was born in 1950 in New Hampshire. From Horse Crazy (1989), a tale of feverish love set against the backdrop of downtown New York amid the AIDS epidemic, to Do Everything in the Dark (2003), "a desolate frieze of New Yorks aging bohemians" (n+1), Indianas novels mix horror and bathos, grim social commentary with passages of tenderest, frailest desire. With 1997s Resentment- A Comedy, Indiana began a true crime trilogy, following up with Three Month Fever- The Andrew Cunanan Story (1999) and Depraved Indifference (2002). In 2015, Indiana published his acclaimed anti-memoir, I Can Give You Anything But Love. Called "the most brilliant critics writing in America today" by the London Review of Books, "the pink poet and pillar of lower-Manhattan society" by Jamaica Kincaid, and "one of the most important chroniclers of the modern psyche" by the Guardian, Gary Indiana remains both inimitable and impossible to pin down.Sarah Nicole Prickett has written for New York Times magazine and n+1.
