The Deluxe Election-Edition Bushisms: The First Term, in His Own Special Words » (Deluxe)

Jacob Weisberg is the editor of Slate magazine and three previous editions of Bushisms. He lives in New York City.

In a world of cataclysm and unraveled time, a young woman's face, a misbegotten childhood in a Parisian brothel, and the fragment of a lost movie masterpiece are the only clues in a man's search for his past. Steve Erickson's Days Between Stations is the stunning, now classic dream-spec of our precarious age -- by turns beautiful and obsessed, haunted and hallucinated, in which lives erotically collide, the past ambushes the future, and forbidden secrets intercut with each other like the frames of a film.

PW commented: ``A plot rampant with ambiguities and bizarre harbingers of doomsday in a futuristic world and the author's surrealistic style make this first novel impenetrable.'' (September)
