Gus Van Sant goes from auteur to author in an brilliant, inventive,
and endlessly entertaining first novel that reads like a Warholian
mix of Kurt Vonnegut and Tom Robbins.
In the town of Sasquatch, Oregon, Spunky Davis, middle-aged maker
of infomercials, is trying to find his next assignment, finish the
screenplay that he hopes will bring him Hollywood glory, and deal
with the death of his friend and favorite infomercial presenter,
teen idol Felix Arroyo. Enter two young aspiring filmmakers, Jack
and Matt, whom Spunky finds strangely familiar--especially as Jack
bears an uncanny resemblance to the late Felix. But Jack and Matt
are not what they appear to be; they are messengers from a
dimension beyond time known as Pink, and they invite Spunky to join
them on their voyage of transcendence and recovery.
Using a delirious array of voices signified by different typefaces,
a flip cartoon that animates the novel's action, footnotes and line
drawings, Gus Van Sant turns the novel into an explosively visual
experience, a captivating combination of texture and text. As
original and involving as any of Van Sant's films, "Pink" is both a
hip, comic deconstruction of our image-obsessed culture and a
genuinely tender story on the classic themes of love, time, and
loss.
