Product Description

Product Description

In the doll forge Maquette, overwhelmed by the rigid fit of her own jaw, makes a run for it. Meanwhile Gregor gloomily considers the five glad bugs on a bedspread, the one disconsolate whimper and the head which has no particular shape that make up his lifestyle. We can only be Accomplice; the tropic of slack jawed nutters where Justice is as rare as a jelly fossil created by the unique imagination of Steve Aylett. The extraordinary offspring of the fertile coming together of Burroughs, Runyon, Lear and Dick, Accomplice could have been written by no-one else and is the perfect vehicle for Aylett's satiric world view, dreamlike imagination and verbal pyrotechnics.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's Steve Aylett - Read it, 11 April 2003
By A Customer
Keep the analgaesics handy, because that man is in full flow again.

If you have read anything else by him, you will know what to expect. If you haven't, then beware. All the words make sense. All the sentences make a vague sort of sense, the paragraphs - forget it. The story, however, seems to hang together despite the strangeness of the style - probably because of the strangeness of style.

I would normally say that you should read the first two as this is the third of a series, but even though I have read them in order, I doubt that it would really matter.

I was brought up with the so-called new wave of U.K. Science fiction writers: Ballard, Moorcock, Aldiss and even though I love them and the more trad U.S. writers, like Scott Card, Niven and Clarke, this guy has become my number one author of sf. This proves to me that I was right.
