Faced with photos of a once-tumultuous New York art world, the narrator’s mind in this scathing, darkly funny novel begins to erupt. Memories jostle for center stage, just as those that they are about always did. These brilliant but broken survivors of the '80s and '90s have now reached the brink of middle age and are facing the challenge of continuing to feel authentic.Luminous with imagery, cackling with bitter humor, this roman à clef spares no one. It’s a canny portrait of one era’s vaporization, and a study of the perpetual need that some of us feel to reconstruct ourselves—atom by atom.

Praise for Gary Indiana
Depraved Indifference
“Gary Indiana delves into the minds of his creepy, appalling characters with such probing wit and lip-smacking glee that we actually enjoy our time with these amoral monsters.”
---John Waters, author and director of Hairspray
“These days [Indiana is] the chronicler of America’s long, dark slide into sleaze.... Depraved Indifference is a delightfully sordid and propulsive read.” ---The Village Voice
“Sordid and brilliant...This is a greatly entertaining novel with dozens of passages of sharp insight and dark humor.... Gary Indiana is a fearless and valuable writer, willing to recount anything human beings are capable of with a kind of angry compassion and a spritz of disgust.” ---Washington Post
“Extravagant and full of wisecracks, but also deadly serious, as the best satirical writing always is.” ---Boston Globe
“A sardonic, thermonuclear course into the heart of American darkness.” ---The Memphis Commercial Appeal
“Gary Indiana has made a name for himself as an edgy chronicler of the fictional trials of the rich and powerful.” ---Entertainment Weekly
“With trademark exuberance and venom, Indiana... spins a dizzying tale...”
---Kirkus Review (starred review)
Three Month Fever
“A legitimate heir to the crime-related nonfiction novel: Capote on peyote.” ---Chicago Reader
“In Indiana’s ingenious hands, what a bewitching, rollicking folly Three Month Fever becomes. In a book packed with sharp insight, clever writing, and emotional verve, Indiana has grasped the warped cultural context in which murders and media converge.” ---Washington Post
ard“A spellbinding fusion of journalism, social commentary, and novelistic license.” ---Entertainment Weekly
Writer, filmmaker, and visual artist, Gary Indiana has published over eighteen books, both fiction and nonfiction. DO EVERYTHING IN THE DARK (Itna Press, 2015) is his seventh novel, originally published in 2003.
