Slick

Начало книги

Slick contains a small number of e-mails, texts and instant message exchanges that have been force-formatted into a sans-serif font (Arial or Helvetica for most devices). For better contrast and a better reading experience, I suggest you set the main text to a serif font: Palatino, Baskerville, Caecilia, or the default publisher typeface.

For those of you with older e-ink devices (the coal-powered Kindles with two font options), these electronic communications will appear in a readable but not-entirely-pretty Courier font. My apologies. Slick was first published in 2004, in the carefree days before e-book considerations. Rest assured I won’t be pulling these formatting shenanigans in future novels.

On the plus side, I’ve made hundreds of small improvements to the narrative since the book was first released, stuff that Younger Me got away with but Older Me couldn’t tolerate. The result: a slightly better novel. The story still takes place at the turn of the millennium, in that cozy little space between the Columbine shootings and 9/11. Expect many quaint references from that era.
