Gainsbourg: The Biography Music & Performing Arts Rarely has the complex web

Rarely has the complex web of American society been revealed so rivetingly

a sweeping landscape of queer Midwestern loss and desire

but the fingers scraping to pick them up

he quickly realizes that surviving in this strange new world requires evading strangers and the seven-foot-tall plants known as triffids--plants that can walk and can kill a man with one quick lash of their poisonous stingers
