Rainbow Road
« Mes enfants avaient un jeu vidéo appelé Mario Kart, où si tu pouvais survivre à un niveau tu accédais à un autre, encore plus absurde et difficile, avec des obstacles de plus en plus fous, jusqu’à atteindre Rainbow Road, où les routes n’étaient plus que rubans de couleur dans l’espace infini, sans glissières de sécurité ni pauses, et où la seule compétence requise était la capacité à laisser aller ». — Joe Andoe, 2017.
Born in 1955, Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Lives and works in New York.
Education
M.F.A. University of Oklahoma, Norman, Oklahoma, 1981.
