Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Fine. 1st Edition. As new in as new dust jacket. SIgned on the title page. "Avant pop writer Eckhard Gerdes returns to the source of darkside rock'n'roll dreams with his latest novel The Million-Year Centipede, a multi-layered take on the prophetic impact of one of the most enigmatic songs by The Doors. 'The Celebration of the Lizard' was written by Doors frontman Jim Morrison as a kind of ritual invocation and though performed at mass raves it was only ever imperfectly recorded as an album track. What was being invoked though? This is the question which Gerdes addresses in a playful postmodern allegory which focuses on the apocalyptic return of a rock'n'roll messiah named Wakelin. Did he fake his own death? Is he expected to collect his true fans and rendezvous with a spaceship due to land any moment? Is he responsible for the bloody deaths of the thousands who refuse to believe in him? And what is the malign significance of the centipede god? The questions multiply, but Gerdes is too canny to offer definitive answers. Instead, he spins out memory shards, text fragments, condensed poems, and even drawings. There are influences drawn from postmodernist writers like John Barth as well as sci-fi writers like Michael Moorcock. Lurking at the back of this novel, though, is a howling spirit of revenge for the betrayed dreams of the 1960s. Gerdes has a poetic sensibility which takes no prisoners."¿Steve Beard, author of Meat Puppet Cabaret and Digital Leatherette. Signed by Author(s). N° de réf. du vendeur 006060
