Inhaltsangabe

“Here I was, doing ninety on the Santa Monica Freeway with a quart of whiskey shoved into my crotch and my dead neighbor in the trunk. It had come time to leave Los Angeles...” Thus begins the pre-apocalyptic, cross-country race with death to bury the murdered past in Joseph Mattson’s urgent, beautifully reckless debut novel of transgressive loss and hunted redemption, culminating in a shotgun fight with God. Includes an open-road, open-whiskey soundtrack by enigmatic and stunning Drag City recording artist Six Organs of Admittance.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

“Joseph Mattson writes like a guitar player with nineteen fingers—everywhere at once, stinging, dark and beautiful. Empty the Sun will take you to some strange places, but the trip is amazing. Mattson has written a truly inventive and vivid novel.” —Jerry Stahl, author of Permanent Midnight and Pain Killers “Several passages induced the shiver of aesthetic bliss in my spine that Nabokov famously described as the indicator of good and true writing. The whole thing is by turns hilarious and hilariously sad, artfully pin-holed with melancholy (my favorite drink)… Empty the Sun is an impressive achievement, as well as an excellent and I believe as yet unused name for a rock band.” —James Greer, author of The Failure and Guided By Voices: A Brief History “Joseph Mattson is a monster of a writer.” —Beth Lisick, author of Everybody into the Pool and Helping Me Help Myself
