SECURITY is a completely new take on the ex-pat genre. Instead of going on a journey to an exotic land that opens up new vistas we follow a brutal downward spiral. A strange and terrifying tale of an individual lost in chaos who goes from a fundamentalist religious community to homelessness in Los Angeles to a haunted loft on the Bowery to finish working as a bank guard in the housing projects that ring Paris. (The book is published with raw typos, adding to an edginess that MFA-ish literatis always fail to capture with their attempts at typographic innovation.) Nowlan recently made a feature length film in which a wino, a whore, a CEO, a bourgeoise, a top model, a criminal, and a security guard are locked in a warehouse and forced to fight for survival by a sadistic ex-KGB agent turned gameshow host. Really.
