Rick Moody offers a brilliant trio of stories, spanning glittering golf courses, a stifling office and a harrowing dystopia. The Albertine Notes presents a cataclysmic vision of New York City after the levelling of fifty square blocks of Manhattan by a suitcase bomb. Albertine, the street name for the buzz of a lifetime , is a mind-altering drug through which survivors seek solace in the past. K & K concerns lonely young Ellie Knight-Cameron, office manager at an insurance agency, where the office suggestion box is yielding unpleasant messages that escalate to a scary pitch. And at the centre of The Omega Force is a buffoonish former government official in rocky recovery. Dr Jamie Van Deusen is determined to protect his habitat its golf courses (and Bloody Marys) and pizza places (and beers) from dark-complected foreign nationals.
