"She wants to howl, instead drags leisurely on her cigarette like a film much cooler than herself, blows the smoke at the inside of her windshield in a way that cinema would make iconic. Worse worse worse. These people think they are like her. She them. It's the loose tooth of a nightmare."LUCY JINX is an intimate epic, spanning eight years in the life (and innermost mind) of the titular poet as she navigates cities, jobs, ambitions, friendships, lovers--and above all, her own monstrous, psychically tumultuous relationship with language, identity, and purpose.A love story, a portrait of the artist, and an expression of the existential, roiling turmoil of the individual faced with an ever more anonymous world, LUCY JINX is a novel at once miniaturist and gargantuan, a comedy and a horror-show."She's bringing Sodom down on Pompeii down on Rome down on the Alexandria Library down on herself, now-even Fate is starting to blame itself on her."(the complete 1500 page novel is presented in two volumes)
