Items related to infra
infra is a smashing tale, crunching words and plot through a hyper expressionistic viewpoint. Ron Dakron's first novel is a chilling tale of obsession, sex and ghosts, all told through a poetic dreamscape of words. infra careens through a late 20th century Europe in search of ultimate ecstasy. A failed artist receives a letter. It's a photo of his lost love, brutally murdered. He knows who the killer is-a young Venice Mafioso. He does nothing, until the dreams start. Then he plots vengeance. He buys a gun in Paris, then sleeps on trains towards death. He slays the Mafioso. Yet the killer starts chasing him, through Spain and nightmares. And now the fun begins.

About the Author:
Ron Dakron is the author of the novels Hello, Devilfish!, infra, Newt, Hammers, and Mantids. His work runs the gamut from surrealism to sci-fi pastiche, with a prose style that he describes as haplessly Chicagoan and influenced by working class whites, African American slang and Yiddish comedy. His novels explore differing styles of poetic prose, from Romaticism, to cubism, B-movie satire to mangled Japanese translation. Point No Point tagged his novels as a cross between jive, hip-hop Henny Youngman, and full-tilt Rimbaudian street-smart sublimity. Raven Chronicles judged him as sinister as a thirteen-year-old with a lighter and a keg of butane.
Review:
infra is a wild ride . . . there's lots of sex, drugs, rock'n'roll, wild American tourists on the loose, and a level of writing that attains a very convincing and enviable poetic reality all its own . . . I loved it. infra will be a hard act to follow. --Seattle Weekly, November 9, 1988
