Two novels back-to-back in one edition. Flats is a post-apocalyptic exploration of the human self. Submerged amidst a cast of faceless characters named after ruined American cities who compete over a shrinking fringe of space, Flats is a modern masterpiece of the counterculture. Quake chronicles the unravelling of society after an earthquake strikes 1960s Los Angeles. By painting a bleak picture of what people are capable of doing to one another in extreme circumstances, Quake is nihilistic and haunting, as well as uncomfortably foreboding.

"[Rudolph Wurlitzer] is a writer whose continuing existence is very meaningful to me." --Michael Silverblatt, KCRW's Bookworm. "One of the most unique and fascinating American writers." --Dennis Cooper. "A major American writer." --Library Journal. Wurlitzer is celebrated by fellow authors and critics alike, often regarded as a cult figure in transgressive postmodernist fiction. His work resonates deeply within the literary community, marking him as a significant voice in contemporary literature. Flats delves into a post-apocalyptic exploration of the human psyche, featuring characters named after devastated American cities, all vying for dwindling resources. This novel stands as a modern masterpiece of the counterculture. Quake depicts the disintegration of society following a catastrophic earthquake in 1960s Los Angeles, revealing the darker aspects of human nature in dire situations. Its nihilistic and haunting narrative remains disturbingly relevant today. Wurlitzer has authored five novels, including The Drop Edge of Yonder, Nog, and Slow Fade, along with the nonfiction work Hard Travel to Sacred Places. His screenwriting credits include iconic films like Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid and Two-Lane Blacktop, and he co-directed Candy Mountain with Robert Frank.
