Perfect Angel 1 is a collection of twelve spiteful blasts of short fiction and poetry. Some of these writers are publishing for the first time. Others are in the publishing/journo world. Most write stories about what Paul Dunwoody would term ‘the droppings of society’. Almost all of them are members and affiliates of Gob Nation, and play in bands like Sniffany and The Nits and The Tubs. I’ve heard them compared from everyone from Kathy Acker to Dennis Cooper to James Joyce to Julia Davis to Donald Barthelme, but taken together, their work takes on an aesthetic coherence due to, in our opinion, a shared talent for capturing the strangeness of morbid boring Britain today.
