Description
Celebration is a biting black comedy from Harry Crews, the author known for his dark commentary on human vanity and folly. Set in a Florida rest-home, the story follows the lives of a group of forgotten men and women who are waiting for death while trying to maintain their dignity and social security numbers. The arrival of a beautiful young woman, Too Much, shakes things up and awakens long-dormant appetites among the residents. This novel is a commentary on the human condition, exploring themes of loneliness, desire, and the search for meaning in a place where time seems to stand still.
