Reviews
Praise for Steve Erickson: "One of the fabulous mythmakers who are needed in these times of deprivation of the imagination." New York Times Book Review "Marked by familiar coordinates but always in fantastic light, Erickson's writing seems both heroic and necessary." San Francisco Chronicle "Erickson has that rare and luminous gift for reporting back from the nocturnal side of reality." Thomas Pynchon "One of the most important writers of his generation. Erickson's work feels like right here, right now. Against it, most new fiction reads like it was written by stenographers." Atlanta Journal-Constitution "A brilliantly imaginative novelist of the utmost seriousness and grace." William Gibson "A master, a dizzying rewriter of history, myth and apocalypse...there's no one in the world writing like Steve Erickson." Los Angeles Times Book Review "The only authentic American surrealist." Greil Marcus, Praise for Shadowbahn : "Steve Erickson's novel is: compassionate, weird, unpredictable, jaunty. It's sad, and it's droll and sometimes it's gorgeous ... In this novel, Erickson has mobilized so much of what feels pressing and urgent about the fractured state of the country in a way that feels fresh and not entirely hopeless, if only because the exercise of art in opposition to complacent thought can never be hopeless ... In 2017, it reads like an answer to and sanctuary from the American Century to come." Fiona Maazel, New York Times Book Review "Unusually structured and daringly written, Erickson's gem of a novel is equally challenging and rewarding, spinning out thread after thread of story before skillfully tying them together in a satisfying climax." Publishers Weekly "Think Philip K. Dick on smoother acid and with a more up-to-date soundtrack, and you've got something of this eminently strange, thoroughly excellent book." Kirkus (starred review) "Steve Erickson is one of America's greatest living novelists. Wild, inventive and surprising, Shadowbahn combines the social novel, science-fiction novel, and family novel." Dana Spiotta, author of Innocents and Others "A great, great, great, great novel. I could say more--about its big-world heartedness and old-world shadowness, about twins and towers, brothers and sisters, road trips and borders we design and transgress, and mostly about Erickson's beautiful heart-bit music--and it would add up to the same thing: great. Sung, of course." Mark Z. Danielewski, author of The Familiar "Who else but Steve Erickson could have imagined the hallucinatory composites that fill Shadowbahn ? History is shadowed by sparkling possibilities, dreams become reality, and reality returns us to the music, the dangers, the beauty and whimsy of the past, all converging with a force no reader will resist." Joanna Scott, author of De Potter's Grand Tour " Shadowbahn has a simultaneous weight and lightness, mapping out a counter-history where events that have touched all Americans are given new shape and speak in new voices." Greil Marcus, author of Lipstick Traces "Devastating, perceptive, brilliant, written in the margins of the American songbook and the shadow of the Twin Towers....Erickson is among the handful of essential American novelists. His books are great unravelings, exposing the deepest enigmas of the American experience." Christopher Sorrentino, author of The Fugitives "Every time I open a Steve Erickson novel, I am whirled into a hundred layers of story--of the stories no one else imagines--and I can't put it down. This time, the Twin Towers and the Badlands: What could be more American, and more of the world?" Susan Straight, author of Highwire Moon "Not sure whether Steve Erickson's off-kilter whoppers have gotten more plausible or the country gets more and more unhinged. He and his book's bewitching nouns, from the Badlands to "La Bamba," are good company either way." Sarah Vowell, author of Lafayette in the Somewhat United States "Shadowbahn is adventure, romp, exploration, an act of faith, dangerous, funny, upsetting, certain to annoy the complacent (literary and otherwise), and imparts the uneasy sensation that you're not reading it, it's reading you." Michael Ventura, author of The Zoo Where You're Fed to God

Synopsis
A LA TIMES' BEST BOOK OF 2017 (FICTION) "A beautiful, moving, strange examination of apocalypse and rebirth." - Neil Gaiman "Erickson has mobilized so much of what feels pressing and urgent about the fractured state of the country in a way that feels fresh and not entirely hopeless, if only because the exercise of art in opposition to complacent thought can never be hopeless." - New York Times Book Review A chronicle of a weird road trip, a provocative work of alternative history, and a dazzling discography of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, encompassing artists from Louis Armstrong and Billie Holliday to Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen, SHADOWBAHN is a richly allusive meditation on the meaning of American identity and of America itself. "Jaw-dropping," says Jonathan Lethem ( Granta ).
