A surreal odyssey through appearances, realities, excess, and deception - New York as pressure chamber, names as currency, access as a con, and the truth handled quietly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSomewhere in between, Bloom was cast in the Warner Bros. film The Nice Guys with no agent - just signal - to smoke cigarettes opposite Ryan Gosling. Then came the story: Bloom showed up moving like a movie star and the room went quiet. The machine recalibrated. The scene tried to drift. Bloom kept it rehearsed. Professional. Exact. Then he did the most dangerous thing in Hollywood: he walked away from a frame he didn't want. A nap in the green room. A handshake. Gone. That's how you stay clean. That's how you stay inevitable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHis second novel, Savage Recreation, is a corporate fever dream - Notes from the Underground in a tailored jacket, Naked Lunch rewritten as a board memo. A hallucinatory plunge into surveillance capital, pharmaceutical mind-control, and sex as operating system. Revolutions become brands. Desire becomes protocol. The city becomes a lab. Bloom wrote it while reading Gravity's Rainbow - but only up to the casino: enough to learn the architecture, not enough to get lost inside it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 134\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 8.27 x 5.83 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 15, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52570994147635,"sku":"9781944527952","price":43.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/v2LYabhiQR9781944527952.webp?v=1783032057","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/savage-recreation-hardcover","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
