This promises to be really exciting, the entirety of Susan Simpson’s “Concrete Folk Variations” trilogy done at one go!<\/p>\n
When a prominent society maven and philanthropist who secretly slums at lesbian dives is murdered, L.A.P.D. beat cop, Loretta Salt, turns reluctant investigator and steps into an infested swamp of corruption, brutality and subterfuge.<\/p>\n
A soulful, gripping noir, Concrete Folk Variations is told through Simpson’s intricately crafted puppets, projections and a minimalist mid-century Los Angles cityscape. This cultural excavation of the moment just before the rise of the modern gay movement unearths secret codes, clandestine homosexual societies, flamboyant transgressions and soul crushing silence. Concrete Folk Variations is a hypnotic tale of the formidable times.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
