What is Dreamland Court : a Novel about?

Set in the blighted industrial landscape of the Los Angeles basin, Dreamland Court is an underground love story. Just out of prison, Johnny Dalton returns home to find his wife Jackie, the mother of his two small children, passionately involved with one of his good friends. Doing everything in his power to win her back, Johnny blunders his way through one criminal enterprise after another. When the cops pick him up for being the only adult present at a wild teenage party, hes sent back to jail. The strange thing is, as far as Jackie is concerned, Johnnys maneuvers actually work. Reminiscent of the pathos in Hubert Selbys Last Exit to Brooklyn , and the comedy of John Synges The Playboy of the Western World , Dale Herd focuses his astute gaze on lives that are ordinarily invisible, while turning the conventional love story on its head. ...and I like Dale Herd for prose. Allen Ginsberg, Poetry Flash "... not since Raymond Carver has stuff been so raw and true. It leaps out from the page/screen and bites with tender fury." J. H. Prynne No one writes American better than Dale Herd. His writing is like some bastard offspring of a liaison between Charles Bukowski and Joan Didionunflinchi
