Atomik Aztex by Sesshu Foster A fantastical gonzo Aztlan mythology, where modern Aztecs and immigrant ghosts uncover blood sacrifice in Los Angeles. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description In the alternate universe of this glitteringly surreal first novel, the Aztecs rule, having conquered the European invaders. Zenzontli, Keeper of the House of Darkness, is visited by visions of a parallel world run by the Europeans, where consumerism reigns supreme. Aztecs armed with automatic weapons, totemic powers and blood sacrifice conquer and colonize 1940s Europe, as ghosts of the world wars emerge to haunt contemporary Los Angeles.Atomik Aztex is a hilarious read. A potent concoction, with influences from graphic novels, along with Ishmael Reeds Mumbo Jumbo, the paranoia of Philip K. Dick and William Burroughs, and an outrageous cyber-Aztln mix reminiscent of Guillermo Gmez-Pea.Sesshu Foster is the author of the critically acclaimed City Terrace Field Manual.

Review “… a graphic, hilarious and violent chronicle of multiple realities that could emerge … an amazing exercise of radical imagination.”—Guillermo Gómez-Peña”… this is an ambitious, energetic, and fiercely intelligent novel.”—Bookforum”A fine example of alternative fiction with a strong social theme; recommended for most collections.”—Library Journal, January 2006″Atomik Aztex is hip, bloody, occasionally baffling and often piercingly brilliant.”—Cherie Parker, Minneapolis Star Tribune, December 15, 2005″Hilarious, poignant, and at times devastating, Foster has crafted a fine … cocktail of sublime anarchy to toss into the machine.”—Rubén Martínez, author of The New Americans: Seven Families Journey to Another Country”The prose is an electrifying, eclectic phantasmagoria of Grouchos marxism, dadada, surreal and naturalcombined with double-edged intellectual/historical hysteria.”—Rick Harsh, author of the Driftless Trilogy”This is one mad neighborhood carnival roller coaster ride through Aztlán, the underground, the QT … Oddball, hilarious—deep.”—Marisela Norte, author of East L.A. Days/Fellini Nights”A book so heedlessly imaginative it often seems ready to burst its pages like a comic-book POW.”—Emily Barton, Bookforum, December 2005 “… puts his finger on a particular nexus of World War II-era racism, factory life and the landscape of Los Angeles”—The Los Angeles Times, January 2006 Atomik Aztex was chosen the Winner of The Believer Magazine Book Award 2005!!—The Believer Magazine, March 2006 Promotional Excerpt in LA Weekly Author profile in Los Angeles Times, Poets & Writers Magazine Interview on Michael Silverblatts Bookworm, nationally syndicated NPR Program Target Asian American & Latin American print, web and radio Long Description In the alternate universe of this glitteringly surreal first novel, the Aztecs rule, having conquered the European invaders. Zenzontli, Keeper of the House of Darkness, is visited by visions of a parallel world run by the Europeans, where consumerism reigns supreme. Aztecs armed with automatic weapons, totemic powers and blood sacrifice conquer and colonize 1940s Europe, as ghosts of the world wars emerge to haunt contemporary Los Angeles. Atomik Aztex is a hilarious read. A potent concoction, with influences from graphic novels, along with Ishmael Reeds Mumbo Jumbo , the paranoia of Philip K. Dick and William Burroughs, and an outrageous cyber-Aztl Review Quote “With Atomic Aztex, Foster slices through history. His Aztex are not so very different from the Spanish colonialists or the corporate greed-mongers or the Farmer John pig butchers. “Everybody knows,” he acknowledges from the outset, “that atavism and savagery make the world go round.” For Foster, as a writer, the best strategy for fighting back is to rip up the language . . . He is not the first writer to use odd spellings to arrest our normal reading patterns. And he is not the first artist to explore the fantasy life of someone working on a factory line. But Foster puts his finger here on a particular nexus of World War II-era racism, factory life and the landscape of Los Angeles and then claims it for his very own.” Description for Sales People Sesshu Fosters work is considered seminal in the world of multicultural, urban writing. He is also one of the premier stars of the younger Asian American writing field. His work is edgy, experimental, and stylistically challenging, but suffused with a sense of ironic humor and grounded in current events and politics in a way that broadens its appeal. CITY TERRACE FIELD MANUAL, his last book (poetry), caused a big stir when it was released in 1996, and its not easy for a book of prose poems to cause that much excitement. Sesshu was greeted as one to watch. This will be a much-anticipated second book, even with the change in genre.
