New from Gary Amdahl
I AM DEATH
From the acclaimed author of Visigoth,
two powerful novellas exploring the anxiety and paranoia of modern America. |
|
"Amdahl's funny bone [is] on full display, and his sharply observed office politics are wincingly accurate. . . . [his] novellas aspire to Melville's noble statement and declare, in the end, that saying no is a manly thing to do."
—Bookforum |
|
"Amdahl. . . examines darkly ludicrous aspects of modern American culture. . . . Two narratives of frustrated possibility, offering an awareness of the brutal indifference of modern life."
—Kirkus |

Praise for Visigoth
“Precise, gorgeous language . . . flashes of greatness.”
—Kirkus (starred review)
“The men in Gary Amdahl’s passionately visceral debut collection
of stories, Visigoth, range from lotharios and politicos to hockey
jocks and thick-as-mud middle managers. But in Amdahl’s highly
literary, tragicomic vision, they all melt our doubting hearts.”
—ELLE
“Gary Amdahl may not be a household name, but he will be.”
—Las Vegas City Life
“Camus comes to mind: thought with extreme muscle.”
—Barry Hannah |
