When Gravity Fails by George Alec Effinger

This book is dedicated to the memory of Amber. “And some there be which have no memorial.”

… He must be the best man in his world and a good enough man for any world … He is a lonely man and his pride is that you will treat him as a proud man or be very sorry you ever saw him. He talks as the man of his age talks — that is, with rude wit, a lively sense of the grotesque, a disgust for sham, and a contempt for pettiness. —Raymond Chandler, “The Simple Art of Murder”

When you’re lost in the rain in Juarez and it’s Eastertime too And your gravity fails and negativity don’t pull you through Don’t put on any airs when you’re down on Rue Morgue Avenue They got some hungry women there and they really make a mess out of you.

—Bob Dylan, Just Like Tom Thumb’s Blues
