		Shiner is primarily an observer of contemporary American life.
		Shiner portrays Hendrix's death, unlike Morrison's death or Wilson's mental breakdown, not as the inevitable result of a downward slide but as a tragic, arbitrary accident.
		Shiner is very knowledgeable about music and musicians, and offers intriguing portraits of the self-hating Jim Morrison and the childlike genius Brian Wilson.

	immediacy: Say Goodbye
		Such is the case with Lewis Shiner's Say Goodbye, a meticuously crafted fiction about a female rocker in the mold of Sheryl Crow or Edie Brickell.
		Shiner, who had previously shown a deep understanding and connection to the music world in his award-winning previous novel, Glimpses, creates his star, Laurie Moss, out of his own small-town Texas experiences and dreams while also distancing himself from the subject by a gender-switch thinly veiled stand-in jounalist narrator.
		Reading Shiner's in-progress auto-biographical essay at his website fleshes in some of the details of the lives of all his characters.

	Eighties Cyberpunk
		Bruce Sterling, Rudy Rucker, John Shirley and Lewis Shiner, the other four writers who helped launch the movement, agree that Gibson's Neuromancer influenced the categorization of the new science fiction as cyberpunk.
		Another common aspect of Gibson's Neuromancer, which can also be found in the written work of Sterling, Rucker, Shiner and Lewis is their use of the deteriorated global environment to help establish and describe the society and technology in their futuristic worlds.
		Their work can not be labeled as cyberpunk because it has been stripped of the elements established in the early 1980's, by the five writers who first generated this new genre of science fiction known as 80's cyberpunk.

	Alibris: Shiner
		Shiner follows three young Americans--a former rock star turned psychiatric patient, his sexy wife, and his ecologist brother--through.
		With "The Invention of Art, Larry Shiner challenges our conventional understandings of art and asks us to reconsider its history entirely, arguing that the category of fine art is a modern invention--that the lines drawn between art and craft resulted from key social transformations in Europe during the long eighteenth century.
		Shiner shows how Mark wrote his Gospel and how his audiences would have responded: applause for the miracles of Jesus, then an altogether different response at the cross.

		Shiner (Slam, LJ 8/1/90, among others) has written what may be the first rock n roll time-travel novel.
		Shiner's appealing main character and his gripping style overcome the less believable aspects of his story.
		While the fantastic elements are fun and Shiner does a superb job of re-creating the atmospheres of the recording sessions, it is Ray, his friendships and his family relationships that drive you to keep reading.

	UNo MAS: Say Goodbye - Lewis Shiner (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Lewis Shiner clearly wants that brass ring with his new book, "Say Goodbye," and early on he tries to let the reader be present at the creation of some rock magic with this passage:
		Shiner clearly knows that he can"t adequately convey the sounds, so he tries to describe other senses; it"s a clever tack but it still comes up short.
		Shiner seems desperate to find some universal truths in Moss"s rock experience, but really this is a fairly dull story that illuminates nothing so much as the predictable emotional problems of both Moss and the journalist who"s chasing after her like a puppy.

	village voice > books > by Lewis Shiner’s Rock Novel
		Lewis Shiner broke into print as a cyberpunk, but over the years rock dreams have come to occupy him as much as the universe-resolving fantasies that typically fuel speculative fiction.
		Fiction about rock is notoriously sappy, like rock in French; maybe graceful, coherent prose is the enemy of a genre that somehow pulls moving art out of a mix that includes deliberate crudeness and gold-rush greediness.
		Shiner is far more interested in artists who never can leave the club scene behind, a new addition to his career-long theme of people mulling over how much of themselves to throw into borderline pathetic fantasies.

		Lewis Shiner's next book will still be well worth a look at.
		Shiner can draw characters with ease and captures particular scenes - an earthquake in Mexico City, the violent rituals of the Mayans, a jungle uprising - effectively.
		Perhaps Shiner, despite the big themes of his book (revolution, the end of the world, magic), is more interested in the small view, the personal changes that take place in the the protagonists.

	The Austin Chronicle Books: Rock & Roll Books
		Even though he hasn't lived here for a few years, Lewis Shiner is in many ways still an Austin writer.
		Shiner nails certain band dynamics, subtly illustrating the way bands, with all their thrilling unions and painful break-ups, can resemble the paths of lovers.
		In the end, though, for better and for worse, Shiner expertly demystifies ambition, revealing the deep dark secret that, aside from a few peaks and valleys, the quest for fame involves nothing so much as tedium.

		What's often forgotten is that novels that predate radio and TV were written specifically to be read aloud, that the human voice can be the sunshine that makes them unfold their petals.
		Lewis Shiner is the author of Say Goodbye, due any day now from St. Martin's.
		Shiner recommends the Penguin Classics versions of the above novels for their notes and introductions, and for their translations into "British rather than American, where nuances of class distinction, so important at the time, might otherwise be lost."

		He really brings alive LA in the 1960s, and makes you really feel that you are right there with Brian Wilson as he finally finishes "Smile" or hanging out on Sunset Strip with Jim Morrison on a drunken, wild bender....
		On top of that, Shiner has weaved in a very moving story of personal redemption, a marriage on the rocks, and a sense that the ideals of the 60s have been lost or diluted through time, attrition, and missed opportunities.
		Shiner balances his narrator's personal life and problems (dead father, crumbling marriage, lost feeling, new love in his life) with the music that gives meaning 2 it all 4 him.

	The SF Site: Geeks With Books by Rick Klaw
		Lewis Shiner, who had just published his second novel, was a regular customer.
		About a week after I gave Shiner the script, he called at 10 AM (waking me up) to critique the story.

		This lexicon was compiled by Mr Lewis Shiner and myself from the work of many writers and critics over many years of genre history, and it contains buzzwords, notions and critical terms of direct use to SF workshops.
		The first version, known as the "Turkey City Lexicon" after the Austin, Texas writers' workshop that was a cradle of cyberpunk, appeared in 1988.
		Lewis Shiner still thinks that this was the best deployment of an effort of this sort, and thinks I should stop fooling around with this fait accompli.

	textual / S (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Sort of a Catcher in the Rye for the anarchist-by-default crew,Slam is Shiner's BIG LITERARY MOVE and as such is neither as"big" nor "literary" as Deserted Cities of theHeart (his earlier must-read epic).
		The changesare not easy--they are catastrophic, and in Slam they are handled with enough wit and subtlety that at times you'll swear you'rereading a farce (you are).
		One gripe (and if you're coming from aperspective unsaturated by any underground music "scene",you can handily ignore this) is that Shiner seems to be impressedby cultural signposts that really aren't very impressive (skateboarding in general, Suicidal Tendencies and the Meat Puppets specifically).
