Silver

Remski's second novel, is an absurdist eulogy for the 20th century with a cast of thousands, including Leni Riefenstahl, Dorothy Stratten, J P Morgan, the Silver Surfer, Bob Barker, and the Dalai Lama, with cameos by a born-again -- dead-again Jesus Christ. Half cartoon and half ritual, this novel asks: Does photography murder us? Is reality itself pornographic? Was Christ's tomb the first pinhole camera? How did television become the mental spin-cycle of North American society? Will Bob Barker lead his audience to spiritual enlightenment through Sanka-induced hallucinations? Why do we feel dead? In a maze of visualisations that will enrage and enlighten, Remski tells the terrifying story of power. Power: transferred from fascism to corporate America on the backs of pin-up queens, rape victims, and misunderstood saviours. Remski's signature style lies in the juxtaposition of the sacred and the profane. His rich and complex writing tears the boundaries between morality and immorality, life and death, delusion and language.
