everyone
i know lives on roads examines the accident scene of celebrity,
fate and language, measuring the skidmarks for traces of our oedipal selves
and chalking out the metaphorical places where these three paths converge.
road ragers and rubberneckers met along the way include kathy acker, alan
greenspan, jacques derrida, ayn rand, michael alig and james joyce, with
hourly traffic reports from dan rather.
"Though literature is usually the most conservative of art
forms, a book sometimes appears that offers exciting, new possibilities.
Trevor Dodge's Everyone I Know Lives on Roads is one of them: with
the smooth surfaces found in new-painting, with the understated
riffs of new-music, the stories collected here are as lean as they
are savvy, as savvy as they are funny, as funny as they are connected
to the thought, life and paths of our present moment." "Mr. Dodge's short novel Yellow #10 may make you a little
queasy, but I can assure you that you will never find queasiness
this interesting again. Not in this life." --Curtis White
