Author Description

"Keith Ridgway's new novel is a psychological menagerie of confusion and paranoia, love and doubt, fear and hysteria. Narrated by an illustrator who can draw no more, it tells of the sudden and inexplicable collapse of a private life, and the subsequent stubborn search for a place from which to recover." "We're surrounded here - by unsafe or haunted buildings, by artists and capitalists who flirt with terror, and writers and actresses and the deals they have made with unreality, and by the artificial, utterly constructed, scripted city in which we have agreed to live out a version of living. There are cracks in the facade, and there are stirrings under the floorboards, and there are animals everywhere, if only we'd dare to look for them."--BOOK JACKET.
