Media Reviews
"'Vurt' mesmerizes with hypnotic rhythms and confounds with its surrealistic paradox-within-paradox structure...."
-- Milwaukee Journal
"Noon is principally concerned with lonely, isolated individuals striving to live 'authentically' in a lawless society of disillusion and defeated purpose." -- Jason Cowley
-- Times Literary Supplement
"As hip and breathless as William Gibson, but spiced with dark humor and the horrible realization that Noon knows of what he writes....There are real characters in here, real people with real emotions. There is love and pain, hope and despair; deaths which mean something and sacrifices which cost. Vurt is passionate, distinctive, demanding and enthralling-first time novelist Noon has started with a bang."
-- Times (London)

Publisher's Notes
A jarring look into the future of virtual reality. Welcome to the vurt, where urban violence is eclipsed by the stroke of a feather: black feather, pink pornovurt feather, glorious yellow feather. . . . Rule #1: Be careful. For one stroke will take you to a virtual reality comprised of memory and dream, central fears and unimaginable hostilities. Winner of the 1994 Arthur C. Clarke Award.

Archer's Goon
by Diana Wynne Jones
The trouble started when Howard Sykes came home from school and found the "goon" sitting in the kitchen. He said he'd been sent by Archer. But who was Archer? It had to do with the 2,000 words that Howard's author father had failed to deliver. It soon became clear not only that Archer wanted those words, but that his wizard siblings, Hathaway, Dillian, Shine, Torquil, Erskine, and Venturus, would also go to any lengths to get them. Although each wizard ruled a section of the town, he or she was a prisoner in it. Each suspected that one of them held the secret behind the words, and that secret was the key to their freedom. Which one of them was it? The Sykes family become pawns in the wizards' fight to win their freedom, wrest control from one another, and fan out to rule the world. Diana Wynne Jones skillfully guides the reader through a riveting, twisty plot, with satisfying surprises at every amazing turn. An exciting science fiction adventure where, happily, nothing is what it first seems to be.
The Dulcimer Boy
by Tor Seidler
A weathered stranger delivers an old wicker chest to the Carbuncles' doorstep. In it they find two sleeping baby boys and a beautiful silver-stringed instrument. For the sake of appearing charitable to their neighbors, the Carbuncles take the boys in, but William and Jules are consigned to the chilly attic, and the dulcimer is locked away -- until William is old enough to play it, whereupon he discovers a natural musical talent that leads him on a bittersweet journey to self-discovery. Featuring luminous illustrations by Caldecott Honor artist Brian Selznick, this haunting tale by National Book Award finalist Tor Seidler has a transcendent lyricism that soars as gracefully as William's mysterious music.

Vurt
Noon, Jeff
New York: St. Martin's Griffin. January 15, 199. Paperback. Near Fine. If you like challenging science fiction, then Jeff Noon is the author for y ou. Vurt, winner of the 1994 Arthur C. Clarke award, is a cyberpunk novel w ith a difference, a rollicking, dark, yet humorous examination of a future in which the boundaries between reality and virtual reality are as tenuous as the brush of a feather. But no review can do Noon's writing justice: it's a phantasmagoric combinat ion of the more imaginative science fiction masters, such as Phillip K. Dic k, genres such as cyberpunk and pulp fiction, and drug culture. If this tickles your fancy, you should definitely consider the sequel to Vurt, Pollen, or Noon's lighter and more accessible Automated Alice, a modern recasting of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland.
