Description
Flieger peelsback the gritty side of aborder town, exposingthe urban blight, and showsa landscape that has beenexploited and exhausted. Hisvision through a narrator isbleak and depressing. Butthere is an upside and anoptimismthat broods beneath the surface, and you find itin the narrator. It is that last vestige of hope that swarmsbelow, and that’s what you hang on to when you readthis provocative book. The work at times is coarse andcrude, but this faithfully reflects the order of things onthe border. The life you find here is one of bars, burnedout factories, sexual deviation.
