When I read Slow Motion Riot (1992) by Peter Blauner I told many friends about it and I have read it several times since. All his books are better than their covers.
He’s like Mark Smith as they both move into another dimension from what it looks like they are doing. Darryl King broke my heart. Of course, I have held Mark Smith’s work close since 1973.
Here’s the Peter Blauner website.
