Summary
The narrator of Gone Tomorrow is an actor cast in an unlikely art film set in Colombia. From the moment he arrives at the airport in Bogota, witnessing a policeman beat a beggar half to death for no apparent reason, it becomes clear this will not be a story of gritty bohemians triumphing against the odds.

Critics Review
“Horribly refreshing, like an ice-cold glass of acid on a sweltering summer day … Indiana writes with an art critic’s eye for detail and a poet’s ear for language.” –Philadelphia Inquirer
“A novel too weird and perverted and frankly minacious to stay in print, too unforgettable not to be reissued.” –Sarah Nicole Prickett, from the introduction
“A disturbing, vivid, and brutal novel that succeeds in its dizzy mix of genres and influences. Not for the prudish, though.” –Kirkus Reviews
“Amazingly perverse, savagely amusing, unflinchingly serious. It may be in fact be the first really serious work of the imagination to come out of the AIDS catastrophe.” –Michael Herr, author of Dispatches
Gary Indiana
Gary Indiana, born in 1950 in New Hampshire, is an actor, playwright, photographer, poet, critic, and novelist who has chronicled the despair and hysteria of America in the late twentieth century.
Indiana’s novels often blend horror and bathos, grim social commentary with passages of tender desire. His works include:
- Horse Crazy (1989): A tale of feverish love set against the backdrop of downtown New York during the AIDS epidemic.
- Do Everything in the Dark (2003): Described as “a desolate frieze of New York’s aging bohemians.”
In 1997, Indiana began a true crime trilogy with Resentment: A Comedy, followed by Three Month Fever: The Andrew Cunanan Story (1999) and Depraved Indifference (2002).
In 2015, he published his acclaimed anti-memoir, I Can Give You Anything But Love.
Indiana has been recognized by various publications:
- The London Review of Books called him “the most brilliant critics writing in America today.”
- Jamaica Kincaid referred to him as “the pink poet and pillar of lower-Manhattan society.”
- The Guardian named him “one of the most important chroniclers of the modern psyche.”
Gary Indiana remains an inimitable and elusive figure.
Sarah Nicole Prickett has written for New York Times magazine and n+1.
