We Live Here Now

When visitors to a famous conceptual artist's installation begin disappearing, the aftershocks radiate outwards through twelve people who were involved in the project, launching them on a crazy quilt trajectorythat will end at one final, apocalyptic bacchanal. Mixing illusion and reality, simulacra and replicants, sound artists and death artists, performers and filmmakers and gallerists and journalists, We Live Here Now ranges across the world of weapons dealers and international shipping to the galleries and studios on the cutting edge of hyper-contemporary art. Rose's characters are, as one of the puts it, in search of 'a gateway to the Un, the Ex, the Outer, the Under, the Anti, the Non, the Other Place, the Not,' and it is those mysterious Other Places where C. D. Rose weaves his surreal magic. We Live Here Now spins a dazzling web that conveys, with eerie precision, the sheer strangeness of what it is like to be alive today.
