FROM THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE SHORTLISTED AUTHOR OF THE MARS ROOM    SHORTLISTED FOR THE FOLIO
PRIZE 2014    LONGLISTED FOR THE BAILEYS WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION   Reno mounts her motorcycle
and sets a collision course for New York.   In 1977 the city is alive with art  sensuality and
danger. She falls in with a bohemian clique colonising downtown and the lines between reality
and performance begin to bleed.  A passionate affair with the scion of an Italian tyre empire
carries Reno to Milan  where she is swept along by the radical left and drawn into a spiral of
violence and betrayal.   The Flamethrowers is an audacious novel that explores the perplexing
allure of femininity  fakery and fear. In Reno we encounter a heroine like no other.   Best
