Specificatii
"A swirling, name-dropping, drug-fueled, hypersaturated whirlwind
of a novel set against the New York City of the 1980s and '90s,
Kobek's latest is a gritty coming-of-age story with quiet heart. .
. . An ode to a city--and an era--long gone." --Kirkus Reviews
"Ambitious. . . . Kobek crafts an electric tale, and the wilds of
New York City during this intense time period provide a gritty,
undeniably magnetic context." --Booklist A euphoric, provocative
novel about friendship, sex, art, clubbing, and ambition set in
1980s and '90s New York City, from the author of I Hate the
Internet When Adeline, a wealthy art student, chances upon a young
man from the Midwest known only as Baby in a shady East Village
squat, the two begin a fiery friendship that propels them through a
decade of New York life. In the apartments and bars of downtown
Manhattan to the infamous nightclub The Limelight, Adeline is
Baby's guardian angel, introducing him to a city not yet overrun by
gentrification. They live through an era of New York punctuated by
the deaths of Warhol, Basquiat, Wojnarowicz, and Tompkins Square
Park. Adeline is fiercely protective of Baby, even bringing him
home with her to Los Angeles, but he soon takes over his own
education. Once just a kid off the bus from Wisconsin, Baby
relishes ketamine-fueled clubbing nights and acid days in LA, and
he falls deep into the Club Kid twilight zone of sexual excess. As
Adeline develops into the artist she never really expected to
become and flees to the nascent tech scene in San Francisco, Baby
faces his own desire for artistic expression and recognition. He
must write his way out of clubbing life, and their friendship, an
alliance that seemed nearly impenetrable, is tested and betrayed,
leaving each unmoored as the world around them seems to be
unraveling. Riotously funny and wise, The Future Won't Be Long is
an ecstatic, propulsive novel coursing with a rare vitality, an
elegy to New York and to the relationships that have the power t
