Pink Pornovurts

323

Jeff Noon’s novel Vurt was initially a small press offering which blew up huge partly due to a rabid cult following from the rave scene. The book’s strange elliptical prose is initially a tough read for someone expecting a cyberpunk novel. Check your assumptions at the door and it provides a unique experience. I believe this work won both the John W. Campbell and Arthur C. Clarke awards. Set in a future Manchester, England, Vurt is a futuristic Alice in Wonderland trip where the hallucinogenic feather is either a profound modern metaphor or a drug-addled affectation. One or the other.
