Even Flow is an action-packed novel, cinematic, funny, and provocative. It is a fable wrapped inside a thriller, Germaine Greer crossed with Kurt Cobain crossed with Dirty Harry and he is just the first. The 3W Gang are regular guys. They believe society needs balance – enforced karma– through selective, brutal punishment of misogynists and homophobes.Wilde, Waters, and Whitman are inspired by revolutionaries and feminists, art and irony. They are the grunge vibe made flesh and made angry: cool, witty, sexy...and dangerous. Hunting them is a gay detective, determined to see justice done but getting more morally ambivalent as he's drawn into their world. It is time for an Even Flow.
