| Synopsis: |
From the neo-feudalistic slubs, the corn-filled world of Tane's youth, to his apprenticeship among the deadly saleswarriors of Seattlehama - the sex-and-shopping capital of the world - to the horrors of a polluted Antarctica, "Yarn" tells a stylish tale of love, deceit, and memory. Tane Cedar is the master tailor, the supreme outfitter of the wealthy, the beautiful, and the powerful. When an ex-lover, on the run from the authorities, asks him to create a garment from the dangerous and illegal Xi yarn - a psychedelic opiate - to ease her final hours, Tane's world is torn apart. Armed with just his yarn pulls, scissors, Mini-Air-Juki handheld sewing machine, and his wits, Tane journeys through the shadowy underworld where he must untangle the deadly mysteries and machinations of decades of deceit. Following up on his highly acclaimed and Philip K. Dick Award-nominated "fashionpunk" novel "Grey", Jon Armstrong explodes back on the scene with "Yarn". |
