Armored Elevator
In ARMORED ELEVATOR, Ryan Daley writes like a traveler who's never
seen an airport in his life. Opening a crummy suitcase, he "release(s)
the Diaspora / from the citation" it received in an outré
lewd" fist fight and goes fugitive. The Earth we wander with
him is "a wormy bot" where Jeremiad morphs into "the
new jingo" and "there's no ice cream to cry into."
But fear not! Daley speaks the pidgin of many a safe haven and
after hours joint. A bad fit for the "coterie of alphabetical
choir guys," he's our best hope for finding the real murderer.
–Michael Magee
Ryan Daley is a dedicated dodgem of syntax. He is a multi kulti
Mayan in Newark whose wit’s as Pan-American as any Jose
O’Shay’s. He knows dystopias no longer wash unless
in global neo-glot soup spracht. Armored Elevator is one of the
best—certainly the edgiest—first books I’ve
read in quite awhile.
–Michael Gizzi
