Pollen : 30th Anniversary Edition

"Ya Ya! The flowers are spurting pollen all over the Manchester map. Gumbo never seen such a giant, golden step before."A tale of reality gone soft and dreams become real, from the award-winning author of Vurt. As a vast cloud of pollen descends upon the city, people are sneezing themselves to death. Sybil Jones and her daughter Boda are on paths to the dark source of the pollen, what they find will change how we see the myths we create to make sense of the world. "I'll bet that you'll find roads where Pollen touches the here and now of your own life, and maybe even recombines some thoughts you have about what's real, surreal, alive, dead, organic, mechanic, attractive, repulsive, outdated, or absolutely of its time. I hope it impregnates you with ideas, as only the best poetry, art, music and stories can."Aliya Whiteley, author of The BeautyWith a new introduction by Aliya Whiteley and a new afterword by Jeff NoonFile Under: Looking Glass / Getting High / Dog Days / Bless You
