Announcing American Fury

Last year I sold my novel American Fury to Maxim Jakubowski of No Exit Press. It publishes in February 2027 in the UK and later elsewhere, and is currently available to review on NetGalley UK.

American Fury was announced to the trade last week in BookBrunch, article copied below, and I'm excited for people to read the book.

Bedford Square Publishers has signed American Fury by Philip Elliot

Quotes by Philip Elliott  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“You're not done with L.A. until L.A. is done with you.”
― Philip Elliott, Nobody Move

“the end is the beginning
the beginning is the end
& we are all just fragments of a
dream”
― Philip Elliott, The Impending Heat Death of the Universe & Other Things That Stop Me from Caring

“It’s not like the movies. There are rarely gunshots or explosions, bad guys hunting you down. You follow a lead to where it takes you. Most times it takes you to a dead end and you have to return to the beginning and follow another. Usually, you have to follow dozens of leads before you get anywhere. But, sometimes, you get lucky, and every door you open leads you to another until, finally, you stumble upon the truth. It’s not about justice, you see, or money—God knows it’s not about money. It’s about bringing the truth to light. It’s not glamorous, but it makes the world a little more truthful a place. That’s enough for me.”
― Philip Elliott, Porno Valley

“Some people never go crazy. What truly horrible lives they must lead.”
― Charles Bukowski

“This was the Mecca of the American Dream, the world that everyone wanted. A world of sleek young women (allied with Slenderella to be so) in shorts and halters, driving 400-horsepower station wagons to air-conditioned, music-serenaded supermarkets of baby-sitter corporations and culture condensed into Great Books discussion groups. A life of barbecues by the swimming pool and drive in movies open all year. It did't appeal to me. Fuck health insurance plans and life insurance. They wanted to live without leaving the womb. It made me more alive to play a game without rules against society, and I was prepared to play it to the end. A tremor almost sexual passed through me as I anticipated the comming robbery.”
― Edward Bunker, No Beast So Fierce

“I’d been staying at the Holiday Inn with my girlfriend, honestly the most beautiful woman I’d even known, for three days under a phony name, shooting heroin. We made love in the bed, ate steaks at the restaurant, shot up in the john, puked, cried, accused one another, begged of one another, forgave, promised, and carried one another to heaven.”
― Denis Johnson, Jesus' Son
