Katja From the Punk Band
Katja From the Punk Band | Simon Logan
3 posts | 2 read
Katja, like everyone else stuck on the work island they call home, wants to get to the mainland by any means necessary. Shooting her boyfriend and stealing a chemical vial is one way to ensure her safe passage; the only problem is, she's not the only one who wants it, and the freedom it will bring. There's Nikolai the joystick junkie; Aleksakhina, Katja's parole officer; Vladimir Kohl, the small-time chemical dealer, and his boss Szerynski; the rival chemical lord Dracyev, and his lover, Ylena. And there's the Man In Red, ready and waiting for whoever is (un)lucky enough to end up with the vial. Katja from the Punk Band is Jackie Brown meets the Sex Pistols, a fast-paced industrial crime-thriller that weaves multiple storylines and timeframes, from the author of Pretty Little Things to Fill Up The Void, Nothing Is Inflammable, and I-O.

Pretty cool dark and industrial read so far. Picked this up at the library and started reading it blind.

A fun and quick read about a punk girl trying to escape an island of drugged out miscreants across a single night. Squidapus thought the author did a good job weaving multiple narratives from multiple people in great layers that revealed themselves each time you saw a scene from a different point of view. The main problem stemming from that was Katja almost gets the least number of chapters with the druggie, boring sidekick getting too many.

Squidapus is gonna start this baby tonight, after he reads some comics that have been piling up. A story about a punk singer who kills her boyfriend to steal a new drug that is her ticket off the 2nd class citizen island she lives on. I think it takes place in sci fi Russia or was translated from Russian? Sounds like a fun read!
