Synopsis
In a world of cataclysm and unraveled time, a young woman's face, a misbegotten childhood in a Parisian brothel, and the fragment of a lost movie masterpiece are the only clues in a man's search for his past. Steve Erickson's Days Between Stations is the stunning, now classic dream-spec of our precarious age -- by turns beautiful and obsessed, haunted and hallucinated, in which lives erotically collide, the past ambushes the future, and forbidden secrets intercut with each other like the frames of a film.

From Publishers Weekly
Plagued by amnesia, Michel Sarasan has an affair with a married woman, then goes to Paris to try to jog his memory. PW commented: "A plot rampant with ambiguities and bizarre harbingers of doomsday in a futuristic world and the author's surrealistic style make this first novel impenetrable."
