Showing results for "Substance" in Genre Fiction

Dans une Amérique imaginaire livrée à l'effacement des singularités et à la paranoïa technologique, les derniers survivants de la contre-culture des années 60 achèvent de brûler leur cerveau au moyen de la plus redoutable des drogues, la "Substance Mort".

A community of outsiders takes over an abandoned gas station. They spend their days ripping up asphalt, drinking beer and eating hot dogs, and wandering through woods and towns in search of new ways of living. People come and go: a charismatic landscaper, Italian anarchists, a policewoman, travelers. A teenager drifts into homelessness. And The Girl With No Name keeps a journal of her attempts to meet new people and sleep with them, sex that is “not a sideline” but the motivating force in a story she is struggling to understand.

When Sergeant Lina LaSalle returns to her parents’ home in Puerto Rico, she faces a different kind of mission: creating a brighter future for her young son, Teó, while making peace with her past. Teó thrives in his new life on the island, and Lina finds kinship, too—with a cousin whose dreams were also shattered by the war, and with a handsome veteran who runs the neighborhood bar and offers understanding without judgment. But even in paradise, old wounds linger.
