Michael Marshall Smith's surreal, groundbreaking, and award-winning
debut which resonates with wild humour interlaced with dark
recollections of an emotional minefield. Stark lives in Colour, a
neighbourhood whose inhabitants like to be co-ordinated with their
surroundings - a neighbourhood where spangly purple trousers are
admired by the walls of buildings as you pass them. Close by is
Sound, where you mustn't make any, apart from one designated hour a
day when you can scream your lungs raw. Then there's Red - get off
at Fuck Station Zero if you want to see a tactical nuclear battle
recreated as a sales demonstration. Stark has friends in Red, which
is just as well because Something is about to happen. And when a
Something happens it's no good chanting 'Duck and cover' while
cowering in a corner, because a Something is always from the past,
Stark's past, and it won't go away until you face it full on.
