A new book from These Days GalleryFAMILY TREE - 1975 - 1980by Scot Sothern
Big City, a Novel from Stalking Horse Press
Chapter One Excerpt at The Nervous Breakdown
"Deliciously strange and compelling, delightfully lurid and fun, Scot Sothern's debut novel reads like a feral mashup of Cormac McCarthy and William Gibson amped on cornjuice and spiderbite." -Mark Haskell Smith
"In the latest work of art-prose from the incomparable Stalking Horse Press, Scot Sothern shows that he's not just a linguistic power-hitter, but a dynamic storyteller, too. There's enough imagination on every page of BigCity for an entire novel." D. Harlan Wilson,author of Battles without Honor or Humanity and Peckinpah: AnUltraviolent Romance
"The job of the novelist is to conjure a whole world, and Scot Sothern has done that in spades here. Lush, large-hearted, antic, and fiercely feminist, BigCity is unlike anything else I've ever read." Ron Currie, author of Every Thing Matters, The One-Eyed Man
"An explosion of language and characters, a fast-and-loose yet potent and authentic way with our American history, rude and gross and gorgeous and hilarious and heart-rending -- "Big City" is everything you want in a novel, bold and challenging and surprising. I love it!" - Julie Powell, author of Julie& JuliaSelf-interview at The Nervous Breakdown
Artist/writer Scot Sothern has compiled two bodies of work made nearly fifty years apart. Best known for his controversial and lauded work LOWLIFE, photographs and stories of street prostitutes in and around Los Angeles during the 1980s, this latest project titled GENERATIONS acts as an umbrella title for two separate series of work. His earliest personal photographs FAMILY TREE 1975-1980 and his most recent body of work, IDENTITY, both of which explore time, change, and the multi-directional evolution of America.
