Stealing Marquee Moon

Stealing Marquee Moon is a hallucinatory triptych about a dying industrial town in the 1970s, a failed love affair in the West Coast art punk scene, and a man reckoning with his fractured past. This stunning debut novel by Christopher Kennedy moves through decades of desire, addiction, music, and loss and asks: can art ever return us to ourselves? Like an astronaut, I look for you in the flare of the genius sun in the blue-black sky, while terror draws a picture with its finger on my bedroom windows and-worm, drought-fish, day-ghost hieroglyphics I come to understand eventually: There is no sun. There are no stars. The coast is never clear. Paperback | 280 pages | 5" x 7"
