Dodge and Burn
Chosen for the The Republic of Consciousness Prize for Small Presses: Longlist 2016
"Superficially it’s On The Road for the rave generation written by a woman. And given the quality of the prose, that might be enough for many. But it has more ambition, and in what is a relatively short novel, Madsen explores the widest possibly range of transcendental mythologies I’ve come across in fiction. There is something incantatory in Madsen’s listing of how and what journeys have been undertaken to explore the world beyond our physical selves. There is a point late on when the central character encounters a blasted landscape that’s equal in evocation to Milton’s depiction of Satan’s landing place in Milton’s Paradise Lost. I was there and I believed it."
