America

More about the book

Simultaneously a novella of stunning and sudden hyperviolence, an all-too-brief examination of cultural, pharmacological, and emotional dis-ease and disturbance, and a comprehensive demonological treatise. Unsettling, unnerving, an image of multiply-entwined unravelings, Bernardara Jr invokes the superimposed spectres of America's favorite pastimes: brutal violence, desensitization, and ignorance of the consequences of both.
