Dummyland (Accomplice 3) [Paperback]

Steve Aylett (Author)

Book Description

Series: Accomplice 3 | Publication Date: November 2002

In the doll forge Maquette, overwhelmed by the rigid fit of her own jaw, makes a run for it. Meanwhile Gregor gloomily considers the five glad bugs on a bedspread, the one disconsolate whimper and the head which has no particular shape that make up his lifestyle. We can only be Accomplice; the tropic of slack jawed nutters where Justice is as rare as a jelly fossil created by the unique imagination of Steve Aylett. The extraordinary offspring of the fertile coming together of Burroughs, Runyon, Lear and Dick, Accomplice could have been written by no-one else and is the perfect vehicle for Aylett's satiric world view, dreamlike imagination and verbal pyrotechnics.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

Accomplice is the Wonderland of a sick Alice—a bizarre, self–contained city threaded by creep channels, where the surreal and the nightmarish are everyday—a realm of casual, accepted insanity. Accomplice: the literary equivalent of digging a hole, doing a headstand in it, and claiming you’re wearing the world as a hat… --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.
