Gone Tomorrow

“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

An actor, playwright, photographer, poet, critic, and novelist who has chronicled the despair and hysteria of America in the late twentieth century, Gary Indiana was born in 1950 in New Hampshire.

From Horse Crazy (1989), a tale of feverish love set against the backdrop of downtown New York amid the AIDS epidemic, to Do Everything in the Dark (2003), “a desolate frieze of New York’s aging bohemians,” Indiana’s novels mix horror and bathos, grim social commentary with passages of tenderest, frailest desire.

With 1997’s Resentment—A Comedy, Indiana began a true crime trilogy, following up with Three Month Fever—The Andrew Cunanan Story (1999) and Depraved Indifference (2002). In 2015, Indiana published his acclaimed anti-memoir, I Can Give You Anything But Love.

Called “the most brilliant critics writing in America today” by the London Review of Books, “the pink poet and pillar of lower-Manhattan society” by Jamaica Kincaid, and “one of the most important chroniclers of the modern psyche” by the Guardian, Gary Indiana remains both inimitable and impossible to pin down.
