Once and Future Cities

Om Once and Future Cities

Allen Ashley's tales of Urban Fantasy are intensely surreal, savagely satirical, subtly subversive and despairingly funny. Possessed of a unique vision and a distinctive prose style, Allen Ashley exposes the absurdities of modern British society like no other writer. Every waking moment is a struggle for continued sanity and survival as we muddle thoughtlessly through this surrealist joke called civilisation. The challenges - factual, fictitious, mythical, eminently plausible - just keep on coming. Ashley demonstrates that, if you have the nose for it, apocalypse can be smelled everywhere - in the latest media circus; in the latest dubious laws or government measures; in celebrity culture or the surveillance state; in the mindsets and prejudices of the population and in the tiniest actions we all perform.

Beskrivning av Once and Future Cities

Allen Ashley's tales of Urban Fantasy are
intensely surreal, savagely satirical, subtly
subversive and despairingly funny. Possessed
of a unique vision and a distinctive prose
style, Allen Ashley exposes the absurdities of
modern British society like no other writer.
Every waking moment is a struggle for
continued sanity and survival as we muddle
thoughtlessly through this surrealist joke
called civilisation. The challenges - factual,
fictitious, mythical, eminently plausible -
just keep on coming. Ashley demonstrates
that, if you have the nose for it, apocalypse
can be smelled everywhere - in the latest
media circus; in the latest dubious laws or
government measures; in celebrity culture
or the surveillance state; in the mindsets and
prejudices of the population and in the tiniest
actions we all perform.
