by Tom Newton (Author)
In Voyages to Nowhere, Tom Newton makes boundless imaginative leaps across mid-twentieth century European history. The two novellas, each set in a unique psychogeographical landscape, share a shattered dystopian vision, wherein time and space are dazzlingly transposed.
"Revolution in Dreamtime"
Paris entre deux guerres-two artists on the periphery of the Surrealist movement share an atelier-the cerebral Alphonse, forced to become a police informant by a corrupt detective, and his friend Sophia. After a strange occult soirée she sets out to discover the mysteries of the Central Station-a place where the dreams of culture are woven. But is her journey just madness and hallucination? Two doctors try to find out, with disastrous consequences.
"Warfilm"
In the summer of 1940, Franz Leis is ordered to drive from Berlin to Paris. He is a technician working on an epic film directed by Adolf Hitler, which will later be known as The Second World War. Instead of Paris, he finds himself in an unknown place. He encounters a magnetic young woman, a nameless prisoner unbound by space and time, partisan freedom fighters, British intelligence officers, and more. And what is the mysterious object that he must smuggle away?
An earlier edition of Warfilm was published by Bloomsbury, London in 2015
