In an interview published in 1987, Russell Hoban, who collaborated with Impact on The Carrier Frequency, said he had responded to a question (from Fiction Magazine in 1983) about the best piece of fiction he had seen that year, by talking about Impact's No Weapons for Mourning. He said in part "The distinction of No Weapons for Mourning has to do with a perceptual phenomenon of our time. ... the performance, not realistic, but hyperreal, has a syntax of image and sound, speech and movement ...

Famous quotes containing the word contemporary:
