"Ricochet" by Tim Dry

Ricochet by Tim Dry

And of course, everything, everywhere happened and will continue to happen at exactly the same time.

Ricochet is a novella-length blasphemical wedding of fevered edginess, violence, drug-fueled nightmares, psychedelia, and madness, set in London and Paris, and written in the mold of a collision between Hunter S. Thompson and William Burroughs. Partly a stream of consciousness narrative and partly a morality tale for the end times, it’s a signpost to the apocalypse of the nuclear imagination, the logical implosive endpoint of the Beatnik generation’s experiment.

Here lies the carcass of reality in all its rotting, putrid, and fully decomposed glory: it’s what remains of the dreams of the Love Generation, laid bare for all to see. Ricochet is the first volume in a projected series of novellas based on the same chaotic universe. This one will surprise, enlighten, infuriate, anger and repulse in equal measure.

Visions and vignettes of an ever-changing world…

Reading Tim Dry’s Ricochet is like looking at the world through a distorting kaleidoscope, with aspects of our lives – and of those who have come before us – twisted into new forms that somehow make a terrible sense. Sometimes it feels as if words have just been thrown in a random order on the page, with fake newspaper headlines apparently created by some word generator or a translator who’s considerably less well versed in the language than he’s made himself out to be. But then, as you travel through the realms of Dry’s imagination – with real people dead and alive crowding into vignettes of impossibility – themes start to become apparent, and you may even wonder if somehow he’s seen beneath the surface of a sham reality to find something deeper. ----- SciFiBulletin\
