The Flamethrowers by Rachel Kushner
Hardcover, UK | 1st Edition | 1st Printing | 2013 | Publisher: Harvill Secker
A dazzling and prize-winning first edition from Rachel Kushner — one of the most acclaimed American novelists of her generation. The Flamethrowers was a finalist for the National Book Award 2013 and appeared on virtually every major Best Novel list of the year. Set in New York's downtown art scene of the 1970s and Italy during years of political revolution, the novel follows Reno, a young artist drawn into a world of motorcycle racing, avant-garde art, and radical politics. Kushner's writing has been compared to Don DeLillo and Thomas Pynchon for its ambition, intelligence, and electrifying prose. Published in the UK by Harvill Secker.
