Publisher: Point Blank Press Format: Trade Hardcover Publisher Description: Introduction of Jack O'Connell "Ever among the most unconventional and interesting writers of crime fiction." --KIRKUS REVIEWS From crimes of heart and crimes of violence, A CITY EQUAL TO MY DESIRE effortlessly guides you through the narrows of human existence in all its forms. In this selection of new stories, James Sallis, author of the acclaimed Lew Griffin series of detective novels, both entertains and engages the mind with stories that will linger in memory long after they've been experienced. "Sallis wants to take your experience of the world, mutate it to the edge of recognition, and then deliver it back before your eyes like a coin pulled from behind your earlobe. And in this way, he makes you see and feel, all over again, the meaning, the beauty-and, pointedly sometimes, the horror-of being human." --Jack O'Connell from his introduction " ...almost irresistibly readable... expect to be surprised! But once you read the first selection, one thing won't surprise you - the high quality of the writing on display here. Sallis is a true original, and he deserves to be read by fans of speculative fiction as much as by fans of mystery fiction. Readers in the market for a powerful collection of unpredictable short fiction should start lining up now." --RICK KLEFFEL, The Agony Column Availability: Usually ships within 2-3 business days.
