Futureproof
by Frank Daniels
Long-time Atlantan N. Frank Daniels originally self-published Futureproof, a loosely autobiographical novel about a group of young Atlantans descent into the city's drug underground. Now, Harper Perennial has published the book, and the critics are raving:
"Makes a fair bid for voice of a generation: a post-punk, post-nuclear–family malcontent stalking the margins of society with a need to believe and very little to believe in."
- Pittsburgh City Paper
"Futureproof is a nasty, fierce and funny first novel. N. Frank Daniels has one of the freshest and most original voices I've encountered in years. He manages to strike an improbable balance between jaded and vulnerable. He sounds like he was born yesterday and, at the same time, like heʼs been on the planet forever and has seen it all. The fierceness of his vision coexists with a leavening humor that I find irresistible. N Frank Daniels has reinvented the coming of age novel, darkly, though he seems to share punkish DNA with the likes of Irvine Welsh, Paul Westerberg and Bret Easton Ellis. I think we'll be talking about this book for years to come."
- Jay McInerney
"Futureproof stands out as a wildly entertaining, disturbo post-punk epic of wasted youth reeking havoc in the sprawling drag that is Atlanta. Characters speak with a deadpan, politically incorrect Voltaire-meets-Faulkner-on-dope delivery that renders the novel at once uncompromising and irresistible. And the prose is like razor-wire dipped in laughing gas and acid. The author has already earned himself a cult following. My gut is, that audience is about to explode. Be the first on your block to glimpse the future of American fiction - if not the future of America. Lock the doors, load your guns, and let N. Frank Daniels take you straight to a hell you can believe in."
- Jerry Stahl, author of Permanent Midnight
