Publisher's Note Out-of-print for more than twenty years, Rudolph Wurlitzer's 'Flats" is a nearly masterpiece of post-apocalyptic fiction. Set on the flats west of what is left of a city, told by a protagonist of shifting identity, "Flats" seizes a moment in a nation's consciousness, shedding an undeniable light on its history and people. Rudolph Wurlitzer is one of the truly authentic voices in contemporary literature.
Industry Reviews "...Very important in an evolutionary way, showing us directions we could be moving in. Rudolph Wurlitzer is really, really good." Publisher's Catalog - Thomas Pynchon
"Wurlitzer will convince you in this stunningly successful book that this really is the way the world ends--not with a bang, and not with a whimper but with the light slowly covering all of us. Gordon
