Blurb: Manhattan lies underwater.

The corrupt rulers of this new city live high above the flood and survive by channelling the energy of the mystics - a magic-wielding underclass who are forced to live amongst the poor in the squalor of the Depths.

High in the Aeries, Aria Rose's fiance has promised that their marriage will unite two of the city's ruling dynasties.

Only Revolutions - A Novel (Mark Z. Danielewski)

Only Revolutions - A Novel

Mark Z. Danielewski

Blurb: They were with us before Tristan & Isolde. And long after too. Because they're forever around. Or so both claim, gleefully carolling:

We're always sixteen.

Hailey & Sam, powered by an ever-rotating fleet of cars, from Shelby Mustang to Sumover Linx, careen from the Civil Rights Movement to the Iraq War, tearing down to New Orleans, up the Mississippi River, across Montana, finally cutting a nation in half as they try to outrace History itself.

By turns enticing and exhilarating, finally breathtaking, Only Revolutions is unlike anything ever conceived before, a remarkable feat of heart and intellect, moving us with the journey of two kids, perpetually of summer, perpetually sixteen, who give up everything except each other.

They were with us before Romeo and Juliet. And long after too. Because they're forever around. Or so both claim, gleefully carolling:

We're always sixteen.

Sam & Hailey, powered by an ever-rotating fleet of cars, from model T to Lincoln Continental, barrelling down through the Appalachians, up the Mississippi River, across the Badlands, finally cutting a nation in half as they try to outrace History itself.

By turns enticing and exhilarating, finally worldwrecking, Only Revolutions is unlike anything ever published before, a remarkable feat of heart and intellect, moving us with the journey of two kids, perpetually of summer, perpetually sixteen, who give up everything except each other.
