Armored Elevator By Ryan Daley
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

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.
