The City, Not Long After. (1989)

(Doubleday: 1989; Bantam: 1990)

The City, Not Long After is one of my favorites. A dreamy future post-Plague San Francisco, in which artists live in an anarchistic society, is menaced by a militaristic movement from Southern California. Interesting and well-realized characters, Jax, Danny-Boy, and the city itself struggle with militarism. -- lq, 6/24/96
