In the case of <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nyrb.com\/products\/soft-city?variant=19214389959\" target=\"_blank\">Soft City<\/a>, <\/em>the straightforward answer is this: it began in Fredrikstad, Norway, in 1969, in a sea captain\u2019s house converted into a writer\u2019s retreat by the novelist Axel Jensen, after Pushwagner had ingested Sandoz LSD. He doodled a man in a car, whom he intuited was called \u201cMr. Soft\u201d\u2014five years before Steve Harley &amp; Cockney Rebel would have a hit song of that name\u2014and, along with Jensen, envisioned a day-in-the-life narrative structure for the character, along the lines of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn\u2019s <em>A Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich <\/em>and James Joyce\u2019s <em>Ulysses. <\/em>And then?<\/p>\n<p>A hiatus of some three years (hardly the only sharp left turn in Pushwagner\u2019s tumultuous life), during which time he lived on virtually nothing in London (subsisting by selling drawings on trains for pennies) and Oslo, went back to his mother\u2019s, was arrested for trying to board a flight to Madeira on his hands and knees, was institutionalized, walked back to Fredrikstad, escaped a hotel in Paris, sojourned in Lisbon, returned to London, and became a father. After these adventures, he once again began <em>Soft City, <\/em>with, he\u2019s said, his beloved baby daughter, Elizabeth, on his lap, and with thoughts of the future in mind. Mr. Soft now had a family of his own, and a fearful projected dystopia to live in. Pushwagner finished the book, or rather the 269 bleak yet blackly comic ink drawings that would comprise it, in 1975; and then, after a few luminaries of the London music world had admired it (including Pete Townshend and Steve Winwood), he lost it.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/2016\/10\/17\/here-comes-the-moon\/\">Read More &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The hopeful dystopia of Pushwagner\u2019s Soft City.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1079,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[26379],"tags":[25146,16675,7282,7351,25161,1657,35,25150,3553,25159,25152,5931,12511,131,25160,2633,4163,17198,18073,13747,14918,12026,11683,10344,25041,25153,12888,228,8321,17811,1050,3104,25158,4524,25155,22659,4537,22484,6122,25149,25157,25154,22406,133,25162,25042,12879,25147,25148,25156,946,14737,25151,3741,12807,229],"class_list":["post-106198","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-best-of-2016","tag-a-day-in-the-life-of-ivan-denisovich","tag-acid","tag-aldous-huxley","tag-aleksandr-solzhenitsyn","tag-archigram","tag-architecture","tag-art","tag-auguste-perret","tag-bingo","tag-brave-new-world","tag-charles-jencks","tag-cities","tag-city-life","tag-comics","tag-costant-nieuwenhuys","tag-david-lynch","tag-descartes","tag-draftsmanship","tag-dystopia","tag-eraserhead","tag-family-life","tag-fritz-lang","tag-goodnight-moon","tag-graphic-novels","tag-hariton-pushwagner","tag-high-rise","tag-housing-projects","tag-illustration","tag-j-g-ballard","tag-le-corbusier","tag-london","tag-lsd","tag-metropolis","tag-modernism","tag-modernist-architecture","tag-muzak","tag-naked-lunch","tag-new-york-review-comics","tag-norway","tag-petter-mejlaender","tag-pills","tag-pruitt-igoe","tag-psychedelics","tag-r-crumb","tag-situationism","tag-soft-city","tag-st-louis","tag-terje-brofos","tag-the-soft-machine","tag-towers","tag-ulysses","tag-urban-design","tag-ville-contemporaine","tag-william-burroughs","tag-work","tag-zap-comix"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.4 (Yoast SEO v25.4) -
