<p>‘Meet girls. Take drugs. Listen to music.’ In <i>Rave</i>, cult German novelist Rainald Goetz takes a headlong dive into nineties techno culture. From the cathartic release on the dance floor to the intense conversations in corners of nightclubs and the after-parties in the light of dawn, this exhilarating, fragmentary novel captures the feeling of debauchery from within. Dazzling and intimate, <i>Rave</i> is an unapologetic embrace of nightlife from an author unafraid to lose himself in the subject of his work.<br /> <br /> ‘To sample an old saying: if you can remember the nineties, you weren’t there. Rainald Goetz was there, and found a form in which to summon the sensations and sounds, the highs and the bass, of techno culture. This is a classic cut from a fabled era that will enrich the mix of today&apos;s rave culture – and fills in the memory hole for some of us old-timers.’<br /> —McKenzie Wark, author of <i>The Beach Beneath the Street</i> </p>
