From Library Journal
As members of the rock band Ecstasia, Calliope and her brother Rafe have only one worry in life--growing old in a city where youthful hedonism is the rule and the signs of aging mean permanent exile to the city's dreaded underworld of sewers and tunnels. Greek myth collides with "sex and drugs and rock'n'roll" in this first adult novel by controversial (and award-winning) YA author Block ( Weetzie Bat , HarperCollins, 1989). The author's heady style lends a poetic quality to this graceful story of love in an all-too-material world. Purchase where there is a demand for experimental fantasy.
