Flamethrowers
The year is 1977 and Reno - so called because of the place of her birth - has come to New York intent on turning her fascination with motorcycles and speed into art. Her arrival coincides with an explosion of activity in the art world - artists have colonised a deserted and industrial SoHo are squatting in the East Village and are blurring the line between life and art. Reno meets a group of dreamers and raconteurs who submit her to a sentimental education of sorts. She begins an affair with an artist named Sandro Valera the semi-estranged heir of an Italian tyre and motorcycle empire. When they visit Sandro's family home in Italy Reno falls in with members of the radical movement that overtook Italy in 1977. Betrayal sends her reeling into a clandestine undertow. The Flamethrowers is a
fearless novel an intensely engaging exploration of the mystique of the feminine the fake the terrorist. In the centre of it all is Kushner's brilliantly realised protagonist a young woman on the verge.
