Prior to his relocation in 2000 to Brighton, Noon set most of his stories in some version of his native city of Manchester. (Wiki) ***'"Pixel Juice" is the collected outpourings of an overactive mind. A selection of fifty stories from Jeff Noon's head, each one strange, telling, disturbing, or sometimes just plain weird. From the breakdown zones of the mediasphere and the margins of dance culture, Jeff Noon samples the image mix. Product recalls, adverts for mad gadgets, dub cut prose remixes, urban fairytales, instructions for lost machines, almost-true tales, dreamy one-pagers, word-dizzy roller coasters.

Call it what you will, but be quick. Ideas-per-page rating: dangerously close to the legal limit." ***"Think of Borges crossing with Philip Larkin on acid and you've got some idea of its very English enchantment."'
