Items related to Slow Dance on the Fault Line
Cinematic tales of tarnished glamour from the dark side of Hollywood.
In a world crazy with heat and desire, pupating transsexuals strip their way to surgery, young girls bud under hot eyes or smell sex as a black Cadillac swoops by, while older ones find ways to release and renewal through murder and mayhem.
In graceful, feline prose, Donald Rawley prowls the ghostly streets of Los Angeles, assembling the most emphatic and most elegaic portrait of this city built on the edge of the desert to have been set down in decades. Slow Dance on the Fault Line sees an iridescent new talent butterfly into literary life in a moment.

Product Description:
Slow Dance on the Fault Line
Review:
‘Hollywood, in all its seedy, glorious glamour, is the setting for these vital, explosive short stories... Rawley’s language is lush – he’s an acclaimed poet – and every word is made to count. Essential reading.’
Options
‘Rawley has an uncanny knack for making the bizarre beautiful... He achieves an emotional and tonal range that’s extremely impressive.’
Christina Patterson, Observer
‘Rawley writes prose with real poetry in it... he has produced a vivid and memorable first book about America’s strangest state.’
Scott Bradfield, Mail on Sunday
