I Am Death

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

                                Also available:

            VISIGOTH

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
