Título: The Consequence of Skating
Autor: Steven Gillis
Sinopse: Gillis as only Gillis can: the politics of love, human action as theater, and the dreams we dream and chase forever. 'The Consequence of Skating', Gillis' fourth novel, blends politics, drama, ice skating, mountain climbing, the music industry and world affairs - not to mention artificial intelligence and G.O.D. - to create an inimitable 'tour de force'. Centering on Mickey Greene, an actor who has fallen from grace, the novel follows Mick as he maneuvers through a series of adventures that set him on a course of reconstructing his life in a way he never before imagined."Steven Gillis possesses that rarest of gifts, the voice that seems to flow effortlessly. This guy makes it look easy. Read the first three pages of 'The Consequence of Skating', and if you're not hooked, go see a doctor."--Jonathan Evison, author of 'All About Lulu' and 'West of Here' Steven Gillis is the author of the novels 'Walter Falls' (2003), 'The Weight of Nothing' (2005), and 'Temporary People' (2008). Steve's stories, articles and book reviews have appeared in over four dozen journals. A collection of Steve's stories--titled 'Giraffes' --was published in February, 2007. A second collection of Steve's stories--titled 'The Principles of Landscape' --will be published by Black Lawrence Press in 2011. A 3 year member of the Ann Arbor Book Festival Board of Directors, and a finalist for the 2007 Ann Arbor News Citizen of the Year, Steve taught writing at Eastern Michigan University and is the founder of 826michigan and the co-founder of Dzanc Books in partnership with Dan Wickett.
