Their friendship is formed during the heyday of sci-fi writing, a time defined by almost cult-like literary groups and pulp covers awash in gaudy alien landscapes. But time has passed, and the three members of The Faraways have drifted apart. The future they once dreamed of is now happening, but interstellar travel to Urkh 24 has been replaced with 9/11, the Gulf War, and a mysterious "incident" at the center of it all. A Kurt Vonnegut novel told by David Lynch, filtered through the madness of Philip K. Dick, The Bottom of the Sky is a triumph of style, or, as FresaÌn says in the afterword, "a clump of simultaneously broadcast messages, like a storyline that only wants to be a succession of marvelous moments seen all at the same time."-- $c Provided by publisher. 546 $a Translated from the Spanish. 650 0 $a Interpersonal relations $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Friendship $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Friendship. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00935174 650 7 $a Interpersonal relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00977397 650 4 $a FICTION / Science Fiction / General. 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Science fiction. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Vanderhyden, Will, $e translator. 776 08 $i Online version: $a FresaÌn, Rodrigo, 1963- $t Bottom of the sky. $b First edition. $d Rochester, NY : Open Letter, 2018 $z 9781940953793 $w (DLC) 2018005900 941 $a 3 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20190212023058.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20180711015206.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20180605014628.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=142CB126688611E8A317244297128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
