Description
Leaving work on a nondescript evening, Roger is held up at gunpoint when he stops at a cash machine. He attempts to hand everything in his bank account, but robbery isnât on the gunmanâs mind.
Roger is told simply to walk.
The gunman takes him on a macabre odysseyâfrom city pubs to suburban neighborhoods to isolated homes in the countryâand as the night presses on, a seemingly not-so-random body count grows around him.
A moment-by-moment exploration of moral paralysis, Man Standing Behind charts the psyche of a random man caught in the roils of a mortal circumstance nothing to do with his own life. Is he a witness, a victimâŠor something altogether worse?
Praise for MAN STANDING BEHIND:
âThis is where DâStair shines. He has the ability to take a situation, one which might traditionally be addressed emotionally, and analyze it to the point of emotional emptiness. Life and deathâŠis not a fight or flight, subconscious decision, but is one to be pondered, examined, weighed against context.â âCaleb J. Ross, author of Stranger Will, I Didnât Mean to be Kevin, and The Soul Standard
âOver the years Iâve stopped being astonished at the multifarious things that Pablo DâStair can do well. Letâs just say it: whatever he puts his hand to he accomplishes and with a style and panache that is his alone. Man Standing BehindâŠdoes completely satisfy, even thrill. The language is precise. The mood spot-on. The characters well-wrought and whatever the opposite of clichĂ© is. Original. Idiosyncratic. Off-kilter. Strange. The slap-back dialog, the scenes as accurate as if directed by Fritz Lang. This is DâStairâs world. Welcome to it. I envy you if this is your first time in.â âCorey Mesler, author of Memphis Movie and Camelâs Bastard Son
Praise for the work of Pablo DâStair:
âSomehow again and again youâre drawn inâŠyou get used to the bookâs rhythm and follow it because the work is obsessive. We find ourselves in a languid kind of suspense, bracing ourselvesâŠâ âBret Easton Ellis, author of American Psycho, Rules of Attraction, and Lunar Park
âPablo DâStair doesnât just write like a house afire, he writes like the whole cityâs burning, and these words heâs putting on the page are the thing that can save us all.â âStephen Graham Jones, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Mapping the Interior, Mongrels and All the Beautiful Sinners
âPablo DâStair is defining the new writer [and the new film maker]. There is NO ONE else. As reckless as Kerouacâs 120-foot trace paper, DâStairâs independence from all of us needs to be studied and celebrated. This is revolution. DâStairâs late realism needs to be included in any examination of the condition of the novel.â âTony Burgess, award-winning author/screenwriter of Pontypool Changes Everything and People Live Still in Cashtown Corners
âLike Kerouac before him, I felt there was one roll of paper on which the story was typed. And thereâs a rhythm behind it. Not the speedy bop of jazz this time, more an urban dubstep. Shadows and edges becoming audible.â âNigel Bird, author of Smoke and In Loco Parentis
