В полночь 31 января 1999 года две тысячи человек прыгают в море с калифорнийской скалы. В полночь 31 января 999 года тысяча жителей бретонской деревушки сидят в лодках, установленных высоко над землей, и ждут нового всемирного потопа. А человек по имени Жилец составляет Апокалиптический Календарь; он уверен, что новое тысячелетие – эра Хаоса – началось не 1 января 2000 года, а 7 мая 1968 года, и его уверенность заразна. В прихотливом калейдоскопе образов, в водовороте сталкивающихся и разбегающихся персонажей, на пересечении взаимозависимых и сложносочиненных историй любви читателю открываются панк-сцена конца 1970-х и экстремальная порноиндустрия, токийские отели воспоминаний – где в отличие от отелей любви девушки торгуют не своим телом, а воспоминаниями – и утративший реальность, насыщенный кинематографическими символами Лос-Анджелес...

Мишель Сарр безвозвратно лишился прошлого. Обрезок кинопленки с гипнотическим женским лицом – его единственный компас в сюрреалистическом дрейфе от Лос-Анджелеса с занесенными песком хайвеями через Париж, освещенный лишь огнями уличных костров, к Венеции, где в пересохших каналах устраивают велогонки. И если Мишель жаждет вернуть память, то его дед Адольф Сарр, бывший вундеркинд немого кинематографа, бежит памяти о том, как в 1920-е годы снимал утраченный, казалось бы, безвозвратно шедевр «Смерть Марата»…

Впервые на русском – дебютный роман автора «Амнезиаскопа» и «Явилось в полночь море», едва ли не самый яркий старт писательской карьеры в американской литературе конца XX века.

A prisoner with a haunted past is released into ravaged Los Angeles, where he pursues an elusive girl to the shores or Rubicon Beach and faces his lost destiny. In his second novel, Steve Erickson creates a decaying world filled with leftover passions and poetic vision that established him as one of the most original and evocative American writers of his generation.

In the waning summer days, a lake appears almost overnight in the middle of Los Angeles. Out of fear and love, a young single mother commits a desperate act: convinced that the lake means to take her small son from her, she determines to stop it and becomes the lake's Dominatrix-Oracle, "the Queen of the Zed Night." Acclaimed by many critics as Steve Erickson's greatest novel, takes place on the forbidden landscape of a defiant heart.

The course of a century is rewritten in this fabulously warped odyssey, named a best book of the year by the New York Times.

Tours of the Black Clock is a wild dream of the twentieth century as told by the ghost of Banning Jainlight. After a disturbing family secret is unearthed, Jainlight throws his father out of a window and burns down the Pennsylvania ranch where he grew up. He escapes to Vienna where he is commissioned to write pornography for a single customer identified as “Client X,” which alters the trajectory of World War II. Eventually Jainlight is accompanied by an aged and senile Adolf Hitler back to America, where both men pursue the same lover. Tours of the Black Clock is a story in which history and the laws of space and time are unforgettably transformed.

"Erickson is as unique and vital and pure a voice as American fiction has produced."-Jonathan Lethem

A film-obsessed ex-seminarian with images of Elizabeth Taylor and Montgomery Clift tattooed on his head arrives on Hollywood Boulevard in 1969. Vikar Jerome enters the vortex of a cultural transformation: rock and roll, sex, drugs, and-most important to him-the decline of the movie studios and the rise of independent directors. Jerome becomes a film editor of astonishing vision. Through encounters with former starlets, burglars, political guerillas, punk musicians, and veteran filmmakers, he discovers the secret that lies in every movie ever made.

'Arc d'X' is a reckless, visionary elegy for the second millennium and the literary bridge to the third. At its intersection of desire and conscience stands a fourteen-year-old slave girl surrounded by the men who have touched her: Thomas Jefferson, her lover and the inventor of America; Etcher, perched at the mouth of a volcano on the outskirts of a strange theocratic city, who is literally rewriting history; and a washed-up, middle-aged novelist named Erickson, waiting for the end of time in 1999 Berlin while a guerrilla army rebuilds the Wall in the dead of might. Where the center of the soul meets the blunt future of the street, 'Arc d'X' is the novel that has been looming at the end of the American imagination.
