Going Down

- A Novel

Bag om Going Down

Unlike David Markson's most recent works in experimental writing, Going Down is a more traditional effort, a dark and masterfully plotted narrative of passion and violence set in Mexico in the 1960s. Three Americans, a man and two women, are living together in obvious intimacy. Their habits, strange to the Mexicans, are strangest of all to themselves.When Fern Winters' attention is caught by movement behind a window in a run-down Greenwich Village apartment building, she can't suspect that her encounter with the apartment's occupant will eventually lead her to an abandoned chapel, in a tiny mountain village-clutching the bloody machete with which one of the three has been murdered.Going Down is a rarity among novels-brilliantly and poetically written, faultlessly constructed, centered on fully realized people-completely uninhibited in its depiction of startling eroticism.
