AFTER THE SUN - JONAS EIKA KARTONIERT (TB)

From a major new international voice  mesmerizing  inventive fiction that probes the tender
places where human longings push through the cracks of a breaking world. Under Cancún's hard
blue sky  a beach boy provides a canvas for tourists' desires  seeing deep into the world's
underbelly. An enigmatic encounter in Copenhagen takes an IT consultant down a rabbit hole of
speculation that proves more seductive than sex. The collapse of a love triangle in London
leads to a dangerous  hypnotic addiction. In the Nevada desert  a grieving man tries to merge
with an unearthly machine. After the Sun opens portals to our newest realities  haunting the
margins of a globalized world that's both saturated with yearning and brutally transactional.
Infused with an irrepressible urgency  Eika's fiction seems to have conjured these far-flung
characters and their encounters in a single breath. Juxtaposing startling beauty with
grotesquery  balancing the hyperrealistic with the fantastical-as though the worlds he
describes are being viewed through an ultraviolet filter  in one Danish reviewer's words-he has
invented new modes of storytelling for an era when the old ones no longer suffice.
