The Flamethrowers

Resumen del libro

Reno mounts her motorcycle and sets a collision course for New York. In 1977 the city is alive with art, sensuality and danger.

She falls in with a bohemian clique colonising downtown and the lines between reality and performance begin to bleed. A passionate affair with the scion of an Italian tyre empire carries Reno to Milan, where she is swept along by the radical left and drawn into a spiral of violence and betrayal. The Flamethrowers is an audacious novel that explores the perplexing allure of femininity, fakery and fear.
