      From the reviews of Dermaphoria:

      ‘An experimental adventure … What makes this worth reading is Craig Clevenger’s extraordinary prose: the pleasure of text is everything’

       Guardian

      ‘It’s dizzying stuff, and the seedy LA underworld is potent in its heat and squalor; no wonder Chuck Palahniuk is singing his praises’

       Metro

      ‘What makes the book so unique, so compulsively readable, is Clevenger’s ability to make complex images seem so unforced’

       Independent on Sunday

      ‘Playful, intellectual, carefully formed and stunningly executed’

       Sunday Business Post

      ‘Part noir detective thriller, part crystal meth fuelled freak-out through bug-infested motel rooms, Nevada diners and low-rent strip joints’

       Dazed and Confused

      To JILL NANI

      We, amnesiacs all, condemned to live in an eternally

      fleeting present, have created the most elaborate of human constructions, memory, to buffer ourselves against the intolerable knowledge of the irreversible passage of time and irretrievability of its moments and events.

      —GEOFFREY SONNABEND

       Obliscence: Theories of Forgetting and the Problem of Matter

      From the first day I saw her I knew that she was the one

      As she stared in my eyes and smiled For her lips were the colour of the roses That grew down the river, all bloody and wild
