Steve Aylett Shamanspace
Steve Aylett was born in Bromley at the end of the sixties. He left school at 17 and worked in a book warehouse, and later in trade and law publishing - here he invented the concept of 'fractal litigation', whereby the flapping of a butterfly's wings on one side of the world results in a massive compensation claim on the other. Shamanspace is Aylett's first title for Codex Books. Steve Aylett's first book was The Crime Studio , published in 1994. It was generally regarded as a cry for help. This was followed by Bigot Hall Slaughtermatic The Inflatable Volunteer Toxicology and Atom , published by Orion in the UK and Four Walls Eight Windows in the US. Aylett was nominated for the 1998 Philip K Dick Award. His stories feature in Disco 2000 Disco Biscuits britpulp!

Toxicology by Steve Aylett Published by Four Walls Eight Windows 140 pages, 1999 ISBN: 1568581319 Buy it online Take a Pill Reading the 20 stories collected in Toxicology is like swallowing a bottleful of multicolored, multitextured pills in one rapid gulp. A William Gibson pill, a Philip K. Dick pill, a William S. Burroughs pill, a J.G. Ballard pill, a Franz Kafka pill, a Brett Easton Ellis pill, a Raymond Chandler pill, a Harlan Ellison pill.... A different popper for each of the literati in Aylett's hip pantheon, distilling the essence of their work and reproducing their various effects in a dazzling cascade of prose little concerned with content or context. Reading the 20 stories collected in Toxicology is like going through the 140-page blow-by-blow report of a high-stakes word association game between two artificial intelligences armed with exotic lexicons. The words are rich and pretty but betray no emotional experience. Reading the 20 stories collected in Toxicology is like drinking frozen extra-pulp orange juice concentrate (without adding any water). It's a mindbursting overload of sensation, but too thick, gaudy and cold to really be enjoyed.

Some stories in this new collection take place in Beerlight, the city of heroic criminals and villainous cops Steve Aylett introduced in Slaughtermatic. Others are set in unique worlds, creations of Aylett's twisted vision and sardonic sense of humor. "If Armstrong Was Interesting" is a series of scenarios imagining how the American hero might have jazzed up his voyage to the moon. In "Gigantic," corpses rain from the sky as payback for the massacres of our century. Questions or Comments: books@clarkesworld.com

Description:
Welcome to the comic and bizarre world of Mr. Taffy Atom, private detective extraordinaire, and his voracious sidekick, Jed Helms, who just happens to be a fish. Set in the same nightmarishly noir underworld of Beerlight seen in other works by Steve Aylett, Atom follows the hero as he trails a motley pack of criminals chasing down some missing gray matter - not their own, but the pilfered brain of Time magazine's Man of the Century, the Big E. Atom is a laconic, world-weary private eye in the Bogart tradition in a world where the cops are the villains and the criminals, if not heroes, are no worse than the forces trying to maintain what passes for law and order in Beerlight.

    Author : Steve Aylett Four Walls Eight Windows December 2000, 137 pages, $14.95 by Steve Mueske e-mail this article print this article comment on this article Metacyberpunk Is Not Post-Modern Prose Ever since William Gibson's Neuromancer came out in 1984 and scarfed up the three major science fiction awards (Hugo, Nebula and Philip K. Dick), the term "cyberpunk" has proven to be a viable term marketing departments can use to describe any manner of speculative science fiction. Most of these author's books, however, don't come close to Gibson's originality in either substance or form, and Steve Aylett's Atom is no exception. Billed by its publisher (Four Walls Eight Windows) as "metacyberpunk," we are given to believe that this bizarre novel is "sheer mayhem illuminated by wit of the first order, intense violence relieved by startlingly original use of language." I'm not exactly sure what "wit of the first order" is supposed to mean, but if it means a half-baked satire using a host of characters so cliched they become a pastiche of a cliche, a plot so inane and laughable that it barely holds up under scrutiny, and page after page of silliness in the guise of humor, then this book may have hit its mark. Set in a town called Beerlight, where there is so much crime that its denizens pay more attention to the stylishness of a crime than the crime itself, "private defective" (no, that's not a typo) Taffy Atom is hired to track down the whereabouts of a brain (or "squashers" as they are called in this novel) stolen during a raid on the city's Brain Facility. He's aided by a partner, the mysterious Madison Drowner (who makes all the cool gadgets), and a modified sidekick that is a toothy fish. The brain, which turns out to be Kafka's (for a series of silly puns on "Metamorphosis"), was hired by a local crimelord called the Candyman to be stolen by a mobster named Harry Fiasco. Harry Fiasco, though, is one of Eddie Thermidor's boys, and tells his boss that he stole the brain for him. As the brain becomes "misplaced" throughout much of the book, the plot largely hinges around a cast of characters trying to discover who is double-crossing whom and why.

    T h e T T A R e v i e w THE INFLATABLE VOLUNTEER Steve Aylett
    reviewed by Steven Dennett There's an amusing review of Steve Aylett's short story collection Toxicology on amazon.com, which says in two lines that it's complete crap. No argument or anything. Not surprisingly, no one has recorded this review as 'useful' on their little voting pad - apart from me, because I have sympathy for the guy: Aylett's violent writing provokes reaction rather than informed discourse. The reviewer even left his e-mail address; I admire his bravery, but I fear for his hard drive. Aylett's new spume of nonsense, The Inflatable Volunteer , is another cut-up festival of perpetual thuggery. Narrative development and characterisation are jettisoned in favour of surface-sweeps of hallucinogenic mini-scenes. Rather pathetically, in the face of the lack of plot the publicity blurb ends with: 'anything can happen and does, all the time'. One suspects a collectively dismayed throwing up of hands around the Phoenix House typewriter. But who blames them? Basically, there's a bloke called Eddie, and everyone's some kind of hoodlum, and there are loads of insects and bones being splintered, and raw guts. Etcetera. Aylett is the boy jester. Knowingly puerile, he's at his best when he's wrily sending up his whole enterprise. Like Stewart Home, or Turner Prize winners, if you take him seriously you end up looking stupid. He'll always be one jump away from whatever a critic could carp about. (Story? Wake up, Grandad, it's Y2K.) For the post-Burroughs avant-pulpsters, it's all about the repeatedly unsettling experience of the writing rather than olde worlde stuff like connection and emotion. Aylett's world is substanceless noir; his packaging is glossy and druggy, and his metaphors are built for laughs, not swoons. Fizz and splutter, sound and fury, and a wealth of clever, funny lines - but it signifies nothing more than a party balloon in a queasy student's kitchen. Which is the whole point.

    (Four Walls Eight Windows) $14.95 STEVE AYLETT'S novel Atom is sort of like The Maltese Falcon meets Duck Soup , set in the world of Blade Runner , and narrated with cinematic flair in a prose that is the bastard child of Nabokov, Pynchon, and Oscar Wilde. This might seem like way too many references (not to mention mixed metaphors) with which to burden one short book, but Aylett's dense, hilarious writing deserves no less. Atom , like Aylett's earlier novels Slaughtermatic and The Inflatable Volunteer , is a gorgeously deviant text. It narrates the most bizarre events with a delirious clarity. It sops up the most diverse pieces of cultural flotsam and jetsam, recombining them into startling new shapes. The book's wild inventiveness is modulated by a dryly sarcastic tone. This is mutant fiction for the new millennium. Okay. I guess you could call

    Mystery Gypt anyone read this guy? Slaughtermatic, Atom, etc? I've recently been told he's the most amazing, ultra-compressed doubleplus amazing author. and counts GM as a worshipping fan. anyone have any opions? sounds like slaughtermatic is the one, huh?
    more importantly, does anyone have spare copies of the british printings? Graham Roundthwaite is one of my favorite pop artists, and the 4 Wall 8 Windows printing in the states has some other garbage-assed art instead, October Ghost I've read Slaughtermatic. It's brilliant, if you ask me - speedy, hilarious, ultra-pumped sci-fi stuff. Heady philosophical concepts fly faster and more furiously than bullets. I'm now on a search for some of his other books, since they're fairly hard to find here. Mr. Bizunth...no, it's gone.
    (prev. Mr. Bizunth judges you Slaughtermatic seemed to me to be a bit too plot and character free. It doesn't help that everyone talks in the same gag a minute style. His short story collection The Crime Factory is much better in my opinion, as it gives you neat little bite sized chunks which better off-set his spectacular prose... Anna i didn't really like slaughermatic, jeff noon is better for that kinda thing. i bought it for the graham rounthwaite cover art too!

    Atom
    Four Walls Eight Windows, 2000)
    British author Steve Aylett, known for "slipstream" or avante-garde SF in five previous novels, has a reputation for outrageousness. Atom , his most recent novel, definitely lives up to expectations. The protagonist, Taffy Atom, is a private detective of an unconventional and eccentric sort with a sidekick who's even weirder: Jed Helms, who has a voraciously vicious human personality somehow grafted onto a souped-up brain in the body of a giant goldfish! The near-future setting, as in Aylett's novel Slaughtermatic , is the city of Beerlight which "sprawls like roadkill." The plot is a bit thin but then the book is only 137 pages long and takes Atom on a mission to trace a missing brain (belonging to Tony Curtis), which vanished the night the City Brain Facility blew up. A motley crew of bizarre gangsters will do anything to see that Atom, his gorgeous, smart and tough girlfriend Madison Drowner, and Jed Helms don't succeed. Reading Aylett is not reading for depth of character, intense emotional subtlety or intricate background descriptions rather, it's like reading a manic anime noir where the imagery dominates stark and startling, with satirically over-the-top metaphors abounding and the pacing lightening-swift, cutting from one scene to the next almost too fast to follow. Yet the language is so clever and witty that the reader is only too happy to go along for the mad car-chase of a ride in order to encounter bits like this: "Industrial gothic was tempered by Bren Shui, the art of exchanging negative energy with the environment through the correct placement of firearms around the house." Laugh-out-loud moments of this sort are to be found on practically every page of

    Toxicology
    by Steve Aylett
    The knock on Steve Aylett, when there's been one, is that he's too clever for his own good. After reading Aylett's new story collection, Toxicology , I wish more writers were too clever for their own good it sure beats being lumped in with all those other writers who are too stupid for their own good. So what if Aylett shows no interest in providing deep characters or traditional plots? If I want those things, I can find them elsewhere. Why try to classify Aylett by standards that do not apply to his work? His characters, for example, aren't shallow they're often, like Egyptian hieroglyphics, at the same depth as his settings: integrated with the technology. What Toxicology does offer is a series of short, sharp shocks. From the faux "Metamorphosis" story "The Met Are All for You" to the hilarious "Bestiary", the author subverts reader expectations to a liberating degree. Commenting directly on the literature Aylett does not aspire to, the bestiary's albatross entry sums up the author's approach: "...expressionless, cruising bird. In the

    by Steve Aylett
    (Gollancz, £ 9.99, 133 pages, paperback, published 31 January 2002, ISBN 0-57506-906-6.) Except for Steve Aylett's wonderful article on The Caterer , a cult '70s comic that tragically happens to have never existed, Only An Alligator is my first exposure to the man and his work. Having now been completely exposed I can tell you that any synopsis of events therein will necessarily be haphazard and completely inadequate, but such things are kind of expected in a book review, so... Barny Juno lives in Accomplice, a smallish town on the shores of the Baffling Ocean and the edge of Bloody Canyon (according to the map in the front). You won't be surprised to learn that Accomplice has not existed previously, does not exist now and is unlikely ever to exist in the future; in fact, it's nothing but a bizarrely realised figment of the author's imagination! Where, then, does it come from? And why? I was actually going to write this review in an imitation of Aylett's occasionally hilarious Surrealese, but we reviewers (most of us, anyway) have to stray at least occasionally into seriousness and consistency or else we don't get invited back. It's a problem, I don't mind telling you, especially for a bloody-minded book like

    Steve Aylett - Only an Alligator
    (Originally published in Vector , May 2002) This slim volume is subtitled `Accomplice Book 1' - yep, it's the first volume in a series. Accomplice is a tropical city republic that sits over an underworld populated by demons. Barry, friend of animals, enters one of the `demonic transit tunnels' and rescues an alligator which annoys, and earns the enmity, of the demon Sweeny. A simple overview (plus a look at the map at the front) would make Alligator sound rather like Pedido Street Station That said, some of it is pretty funny - Aylett has a way with the one-liner - but it's damn hard work to mine the gems from the gaudy dross. In some ways Aylett reminds me of the writer in the film Wonderboys - instead of writer's block he has the opposite and cannot throw any idea out, everything has to be included. On page thirteen one of the characters comments: "`I don't know how to write a book'" Too true, Steve, too true. Home Reviews
