As an ambitious, alienated, and awesomely talented kid from the Bronx,
Norman Spinrad rode the revolutionary "New Wave" of 1960s science
fiction to fame, if not fortune. His usually angry, often hilarious, and
always radical novels changed the field forever. Once devoted to
interplanetary adventure, SF began to explore the uneasy intersection
between today's illusions and tomorrow's dystopian disasters. It grew
dark, grew wild, grew up.
An all-new novella designed to take a poke at both Christian
fundamentalists and corporate CEOs, Raising Hell is a rousing account
of the fight to improve working conditions in Hell, for both demons and
the damned, with the help of such deceased immortals as Jimmy Hoffa,
John L. Lewis, and César Chávez.
Plus...
"The Abnormal New Normal," an impolite inquiry into today's high-finance
low-jinks, which unmasks the manipulations of the 1% and proposes a
radical fix.
And Featuring: our Outspoken Interview, the usual mix of intimate
revelation, gossip, and tales from the front lines of writing and
publishing.
