Product Description

Product Description
Undermined by creep channels, home to soul-eating demons bored by their bland diet, the last resting place of the frayed and venerable Moral Fibre, Accomplice is a city like no other. Only Steve Aylett's extraordinary imagination could have created it, only his prose could have brought it to such frankly bizarre life. Accomplice is where William Burroughs would have dragged Alice to once he'd kidnapped her from Wonderland. It is thought provoking and satiric, always odd in ways that only real life can match. In the foreground is the feud between Sweeney, a demon, and Barny, a preoccupied innocent who has inadvertently become Sweeney's nemesis. Barny's immediate circle of friends and co-workers live lives of constantly grotesque scrapes on the bizarre streets of Accomplice. Other characters include Plantin Edge, Beltane Carom, Dietrich Hmmerwire, Golden Sid, Rakeman and doomed Eddie Gallo. More mystical are Accomplice's resident superheroes; the Rip and Dungboy.

About the Author
Steve Aylett delivers readings like stand-up comedy routines. Lauded by Paul de Fillipo, Michael Moorcock, The Evening Standard, iD magazine and The Guardian, he is at the forefront of a new 'new wave' of British writing.

5.0 out of 5 stars BLOW YOUR MIND, GUV..., 10 Feb 2002
I have just been introduced to Steve Aylett via Michael Moorcock's recommendation and Aylett's work on the Fantastic Metropolis site and I have to say I am ASTOUNDED that I haven't read this incredible writer before. Is it just me or is this what John Bunyan would have written if they had acid back then ? Accomplice is the setting and people have names like Prancer Diego, Bingo Violane who visit places like The Shop of A Thousand Spiders. Believe me, there is no writer on earth like Steve Aylett. He is a true original and I am busily enjoying the next one. If you wish you'd been reading J.G.Ballard since he started, then jump on the Aylett racer -- it's weird and wonderful and all his own! And, for all its hard-boiled origins, it is very, very English. This is the cutting edge of imaginative writing. You won't find much better.
