Just as the Situationists would engage in derives, drifting through Paris to locate (via vibrational contact) zones of danger and love, so Carl Watson’s hero, Frank Payne, in Only Descend wanders down the spine of Manhattan, flitting through encounters with addicts, hustlers, transvestites, and barroom habitués, as he puts his own label on the wounded neighborhoods he passes through. Interleaved with this pedestrian voyage are pages from the diary of his girlfriend—poet, photographer and curious costume designer, Odee Bones. Only Descend (Autonomedia), is set in the late 90s in NYC, and is the third installment in a trilogy of novels including Idylls of Complicity (Spuyten Duyvil), and Backwards the Drowned Go Dreaming (Sensitive Skin Books).
