"This hallucinatory and terrifying secret history of film is so meticulously researched and gorgeously written that I wonder if, in fact, Nicholas Rombes has uncovered a lost trove of works by David Lynch, Orson Welles, Antonioni and Jodorowsky somewhere in the California desert. With Rombes, Two Dollar Radio deftly demonstrates why it is rapidly becoming the go-to press for innovative fiction." It is expert at creating a quietly building sense of dread while claiming to do something as straightforward as describe lost filmslike those conversations you have in which you realize only too late that what you actually talking about and what you think you are talking about are not the same thing at all. "Like a cross between Paul Auster's The Book of Illusions and Janice Lee's Damnation, The Absolution of Roberto Acestes Laing is at once smart and slyly unsettling. Rombes’s novel is a love letter to this art of misremembering: these destroyed films” become as real as any film playing in a theater near you." Nicholas Rombes' The Absolution of Roberto Acestes Laing is a strong contender for novel of the year." It is the most hauntingly original book I’ve read in a very long time. "Kafka directed by David Lynch doesn’t even come close. "I very much enjoyed this weird, disturbing, sometimes effed-up novel about strange films, lost films, and the fragile faith in the difference between our fictions and our realities." For the reader, there is little we can know for sure, but this is what makes the book so exciting." In the process, Rombes found the freedom of fiction pushing him towards a new type of writing. Rombes is a columnist and contributing editor at Filmmaker Magazine, and teaches in Detroit, Michigan."The novel is an attempt to write about film through fiction, engaging both art forms at once with the analytic mind of the academic and the imagination of the storyteller. His film The Removals was released in 2016. Nicholas Rombes is author of the novel The Absolution of Robert Acestes Laing (Two Dollar Radio), Ramones, from the 33 1/3 series (Bloomsbury) and Cinema in the Digital Age (Columbia UP).
