62. Laughin' With Ayn: Matt Ruff's Sewer, Gas & Electric Ayn Shrugged. matt ruff s Sewer, Gas Electric is a wonderful sendup and parody of Ayn Rand s ponderous classic, Atlas Shrugged. http://www.strangewords.com/archive/ruff.html

Ayn Shrugged Matt Ruff's is a wonderful sendup and parody of Ayn Rand's ponderous classic, Atlas Shrugged . Treading in many of the same places Rand goes in her bizarre exploration of capitalism, Ruff does a humorous deconstruction of the faux philosophy of Objectivism that will have the in-on-the-joke reader crowing (those mutt's at the Village Voice took Ruff's tongue-in-cheek dedication to Rand seriously, the book's that good!). Comprising three parts, Ruff pulls the Competent Capitalist from Atlas (this time a kind of a goodtimes hippie at heart), and follows the travails of his empire as it is set upon by the Bad Guys. Billionaire Harry Gant (who is Harry Gant?) just wants to build the biggest darn buildings in the world and make everybody happy, but a scheming artificial intelligence secretly developed by Walt Disney in the 1950's has other plans for a Future Perfect. As back story, the early 21st century saw a plague that wiped out nearly the entire black race, and the evil AI wants to finish the job. It seems strange that Ayn Rand's strange and ugly vision of Capitalism Unleashed in the service of greedy self-interest and anti-governmentism, which has such a strong resonance in the current economic tableau, is not in the forefront of philosophical discourse. The anti-collectivist, ant-altruist tenets of Rand's Objectivism would seem to mirror the culture of the new American politics and the rise of the New Right, with its grubby selfishness and knee jerk small government beliefs. Nobody is talking about Rand because she boldly wears her political heart on her sleeve. Rand openly expressed the nasty self-interest politics that New Republicanism is about but wishes to hide. Ruff plays with this mercilessly. What better embodiment of the New Right than a genocidal Disney AI, a savagely deconstructed image whose desire to destroy the black race parallels the wish fulfillment of the covert racism which is the engine of so much of the New Republican agenda.

a critical list with discussions Science-Fiction and Fantasy Books by Matt Ruff This is a brief discussion of Matt Ruff and, of course, of some books by Matt Ruff. This discussion and list does not necessarily include every book by Ruff; it includes those books that I both know and like. Just as with the author list itself, omission of a particular item may mean I didn't think highly enough of the omitted item, or it may simply mean that I have not yet sufficient familiarity with it. (In a very few cases, I have listed some books merely on the strength of my opinion of the author: all such books are clearly marked below, as throughout these lists, with a hash mark ( ) before the' title so you know what's what.) I don't pretend that this discussion is a deep analysis. My intent is no more than to give you a rough idea of what kinds of tales Ruff tells, how those tales are usually told, and what makes them and Ruff worthy; in sum, to help you rank Ruff (and the works by Ruff listed here) on your personal literary "to do" list.

G E S E L L S C H A F T Ein netter Junge mit bizarren Gedanken Volker Schlöndorff über seinen Ausflug nach Hollywood: „Palmetto“ Klar, es ist natürlich kaum noch nötig, darauf hinzuweisen, daß oft gerade die interessantesten Typen äußerlich den Anschein erwecken, als würden sie sogar von Pur-Fans langweilig gefunden werden. Aber ohne Matt Ruff zu nahe treten zu wollen, es gibt auf diesem Planeten wohl wenige Menschen, auf die diese alte Wahrheit mehr zuträfe. Man verstehe mich nicht falsch, der Typ ist total nett. Ach was nett, der Typ ist supernett. Aber er sieht tatsächlich ein bißchen so aus wie Carter Pike, der Gerichtsmediziner aus Picket Fences, das gibt er auch zu, und man muß sich sehr zurückhalten, um ihn nicht als erstes zu fragen, welches Mineralwasser am meisten Magnesium enthält, und ob das wirklich so schlimm ist, wie alle sagen. Matt Ruff ist nicht nur der nette Junge von nebenan, er ist auch der nette Junge von gegenüber. Wahrscheinlich hat er schon ganzen Altersheimen über die Straße geholfen, und er würde auch für dich zum Einwohnermeldeamt gehen und sich mit den Leuten da total gut verstehen. Was bleibt ihm da eigentlich noch übrig, als sich manchmal zu fragen, ob es nicht cool wäre, wenn Killerhaie auch laufen und fliegen könnten? Matt Ruff ist ganz sicher einer der talentiertesten und phantasievollsten Schriftsteller der westlichen Welt, das weiß man in Deutschland seit 1991. Da kam nämlich sein Debütroman „Fool on the Hill“ heraus, ein Meisterwerk, das eine überbordende Phantasie mit viel Humor, Philosophie und Spannung verband, und das Kritiker in der ganzen Republik aufhorchen ließ. Er schrieb es im Alter von 23 Jahren. Jetzt, ein paar Jahre später hat er nun endlich sein zweites Buch vorgelegt, „G.A.S. - Die Trilogie der Stadtwerke“, heißt es, und weil er in Deutschland zu Recht so beliebt ist, promotet er es auf einer ausgedehnten Lesereise durch die ganze Republik.

Matt Ruff, 1997 From Chapter 1 Down in the Canyons with Eddie Wilder (and Teddy May) Eddie went over and introduced himself to his new colleagues. Then he asked, with a cautious nod at the strange photo: "Who's that?" "That," Prohaska said, flaring his nostrils so that the zircon wiggled, "is Teddy May." "The greatest human being ever to wade through the city's effluvia," added Hartower. "God bless him and rest him in peace." "What's wrong with his right eye?" "Job-related injury," said Prohaska. "He cooked it crawling into a utility duct to fix a ruptured steam line while simultaneously fighting off two alligators with his bare hands..." "Alligators?" Eddie said. "...and then, having taken care of that, he went back topside where the temperature was negative nine degrees Fahrenheit (forty below, factoring in wind chill), this being winter. The transition from hot to cold paralyzed every muscle and nerve in his eyelid." "Wait a minute," Eddie said. "Alligators in the sewers? Wasn't that just a story?" "What story?"

75. Year's Best Fantasy And Horror, Matt Ruff, Neal Stephenson The Year s Best Fantasy and Horror, matt ruff, Neal Stephenson. This is an entertaining, if oddly lightweight, novel set in the future as imagined by matt ruff. http://www.unc.edu/~chague/bkrvw/2-16-98.HTM

The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror, Matt Ruff, Neal Stephenson These collections get more and more depressing each year. Maybe it's because I'm not the largest fan of contemporary fantasy short fiction, which comprises a good chunk of this volume; or maybe it's that I'm just not as big a fan of modern horror as I used to be. But somehow I don't think that's true; contemporary fantasy doesn't have to be listless, and there is definitely good work still being done in the short horror fiction genre. Unfortunately, The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror usually doesn't showcase the best of either of these genres. To be fair, there are some (one or two) good stories in this volume. The best story by far is Thomas Ligotti 's "Teatro Grottesco," a story about a mysterious group that preys on those of artistic temperment. As always, the beauty of the story is Ligotti's distinctive prose form, ornate and exquisitely honed. The only problem is that I already own this story, in Ligotti's brilliant collection The Nightmare Factory . Those who haven't read this story, then, shouldn't bother with

THIS WEEK'S REVIEWS The Dog Fighter The Last Ride Way Past Legal RECENT REVIEWS Absolute Friends Acquainted with the Night Almost Midnight: An American Story of Murder and Redemption The Annunciation of Francesca Dunn ... Very Short Stories SET THIS HOUSE IN ORDER by Matt Ruff HarperCollins February 2003, 479 pages, $25.95 (US) by Jonathan Messinger e-mail this article print this article comment on this article A House Divided Matt Ruff claims he doesn't suffer from multiple personality disorder, the very condition that ails the two main characters in his third novel, Set This House in Order . It's unclear, however, whether Ruff is protesting a bit too much. The writer moves so deftly between his characters, and the characters inside the heads of his characters, that one may suspect Ruff has experience juggling the voices in his head. Mental illness is not exactly a subject that lends itself well to humor. While the veracity of multiple personality disorder is still debated in the psychiatry field, there's little doubt that its symptoms, including "lost time," blackouts during which opposing personalities gain control, are terrifying. It would therefore be very easy to write off Set This House in Order as a sort of lame, pop psychology joke. The sometime first-person narrator Andrew is really just one of dozens of personalities literally shacking up in the head of the protagonist, Andy Gage. Andrew is, through no action of his own, put in touch with another MPD sufferer and expected to show her the ropes to maintaining control of the body. The woman, Penny, is subject to the whims of a handful of power-hungry personalities in her own head, causing her to blackout at times and wake up in new circumstances navigated by rogue personas.

Fool on the hill Roman. Matt Ruff , dtv 1993, (EV 1989) Nachdem "G.A.S. - Die Trilogie der Stadtwerke" Furore gemacht hatte, gelangte Ruffs Debüt, entstanden zwischen 1984 und 87, natürlich auch wieder in die Verkaufscharts. Hat da jemand "Was?" gefragt? "Fool on the hill" ist einzigartig, ich habe etwas Ähnliches noch nie gelesen. Der Roman transportiert eine seltsame, wunderbare Stimmung, bricht mehr als eine Lanze für Randgestalten, Träumer und Abenteurer (im weitesten Sinne). Er gibt sich nicht die Mühe, das Merkwürdige zu erklären, aber das braucht er auch nicht, denn eine Erklärung würde den Zauber nur zerstören. Ein tolles Buch für einen sehr langen Abend, an dem es draußen kalt ist und drinnen das Kaminfeuer Dämonenschatten an die Wände wirft. bestellen http://www.tom-liehr.de Kontakt

79. G.A.S., Matt Ruff http://www.literatur-fast-pur.de/0gas.html

G.A.S. - Die Trilogie der Stadtwerke Matt Ruff , dtv 2000 (TB) Der Klappentext bezeichnet das Buch als "fulminanten Comic- Fantasy-Science-Fiction-Thriller". Matt Ruff, dessen Erstling "Fool on the hill" eher leisere Töne anschlug, hat über diesen Roman einen gewissen Status erreicht, den des Kult-Autors. Rasch werden Vergleiche herangezogen, und da sind natürlich auch die Namen "Adams" und "Pratchett" dabei. Doch die Vergleiche sind falsch, und der Klappentext auch. Die Handlung befaßt sich weitestgehend mit dem Entschlüsseln eines Geheimnisses, das sich anfangs als marginal darstellt, dem Tod eines Widersachers von Harry Gant. Mehrere Dutzend Pro- und Antagonisten wirft Ruff dafür ins Rennen, schillernde und eloquente Gestalten, bis hin zum schwätzigen Hologramm der (authentischen) Objektivismus-Verfechterin Ayn Rand, aber auch "Größen" wie Dan Rather, Ted Turner, J. Edgar Hoover und einige andere mehr geben sich die Klinke in die Hand. Vom Monsterhai "Meisterbrau" nicht zu reden. Der Schluß ist schlüssig, aber nicht originell, doch die Zeit bis dahin ist mit einem sehr vergnüglichen, intelligenten und faszinierenden Stoff gefüllt. Und das weitaus dichter, als vieles dieser Art. Lesen. bestellen http://www.tom-liehr.de
