Beschreibung
'Transcendent, violent in intensity, full of joy and utter wonder' WENDY ERSKINE'. Keenan has done it again, he has written another classic' THE SCOTSMAN. Industry of Magic & Light. is a love letter to the counterculture of the 1960s and a requiem for its passing. The prequel to Keenan's cult classic debut, This is Memorial Device. , Industry of Magic & Light. is set in the same mythical Airdrie in the 1960s and early 70s and centres on a group of hippies running their own psychedelic light show. Told in two halves - the first in the form of an inventory of the contents of a caravan abandoned by one of the hippies, the second in the form of a tarot card reading - it is not so much a book about the 1960s as a direct channelling of the decade's energies, bringing to life how even the smallest and dreariest of working class towns felt so full of possibility in the wake of the psychedelic moment. Simultaneously a forensics of the 1960s, a detective novel, an occult thriller, a vision quest, and the hallucinatory exposition of a moment where it felt like anything was possible, Industry of Magic & Life. brings to life the streets of small working class towns as transformational sites of utopian joy. 'Brilliant - pure undiluted Keenan in crystalised form. Less a book and more of a passport, Industry of Magic & Light. is nothing like you expected but everything you hoped for' JOHN HIGGS. 'Cracks open the majesty, the poetry and the strange high magic that is present in working class communities, if only we could be bothered to look' KEIRAN GODDARD.
