"Here I was, doing ninety on the Santa Monica Freeway with a quart of whiskey shoved into my crotch and my dead neighbor in the trunk. It had come time to leave Los Angeles ..." This begins the pre-apocalyptic, cross-country race with death chronicled in Joseph Mattson's debut novel, Empty the Sun (Barnacle Books). The book includes a CD soundtrack by Seattle's Six Organs of Admittance. Empty the Sun is a finalist for a Southern California Independent Booksellers Association award. "Empty the Sun balances its verbal and narrative excesses with emotional substance and a convincing variation on the theme of loss. Mattson makes it clear that this is not just a Thompsonian exercise in self-medicated wild-man alienation ... it's the raw eccentricity of his prose and storytelling that holds you for the ride." - The Boston Phoenix.
