"Huge scope...invention, feeling and humor...with love as an abyss of motion, terror, ecstasy. The richest of Erickson's visions to date."
"Erickson and his latest novel are clearly sui generis. Our Ecstatic Days is an extravagant, outsized accomplishment...in which chaos almost -- but never quite -- wins, in which primal human connections keep us going in the face of catastrophic loss. A baroque, visionary novel rooted in fundamental truths." -- Bill Sheehan, The Washington Post Book World
"Our Ecstatic Days may be a great one." -- David Bowman, Bookforum
"There's no one in the world writing like Steve Erickson." -- Susan Salter Reynolds, Los Angeles Times Book Review

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. 1st Edition. First edition, 1st printing. Darkly bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in AS NEW condition. "We're surrounded by signs. Ignore none of them." [] "OUR ECSTATIC DAYS begins as the memoir of a young mother desperate to forget a single act, committed out of love and fear, that has changed forever the world around her. In the waning days of summer, a lake appears, almost overnight, in the middle of Los Angeles. In an instant of either madness or revelation, convinced that the lake means to take her small son from her, Kristin becomes determined to stop it. Three thousand miles away, on the eve of a momentous event, another young woman--with a bond to Kristin that she can't even know--meets a mysterious figure who announces in the dark, 'The Age of Chaos is here.' [] Against a forbidden landscape that shimmers with destiny and yearning, OUR ECSTATIC DAYS finally takes place on the terrain of a defiant heart. Human connections multiply into astonishing twists of fate--by which the wrongs of an obsolete century may be set right--and parallel lives spin faster toward the possibility that they will once again unite, electrifying a vision of the century to come." [jacket copy] "OUR ECSTATIC DAYS isn't an easy book, but it may be a great one."--Bookforum. "Erickson's stock in trade is duality, surrealism, and lyrical language, and so it is in this tale that loops back and forth through the twentieth century . . . There are multiple connections through the years between major characters. Unusual textual format, broken chronology, and alternate realities are Erickson trademarks, but what gives this unusual humanity is the Hotel of the Thirteen Losses, showing, in its last room, the unendurable loss."--Booklist. "One of the few American writers willing to leave himself open to the truly visionary. At once a romantic and a futurist, he's willing to take risks that others aren't."--The Believer. Pristine hardcover w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding, all wrapped in an intact black jacket. Seller Inventory # RUB2622
