Description

The Atrocity Exhibition A groundbreaking experimental novel that explores the irrational, all-pervading violence of the modern world. First published in 1970, this book is a prophetic masterpiece by the acclaimed author of 'Crash' and 'Super-Cannes'. The central character's dreams are haunted by images of death and destruction, as he navigates the screaming wastes of nervous breakdown. Seeking his sanity, the character casts himself in various roles, including those of a bomber pilot, presidential assassin, and crash victim. Through the dark and perverse magic of violence, he attempts to transcend his psychic turmoil and find a new, bizarre sexuality. This extraordinary novel is a worthwhile read for those interested in experimental fiction and the human condition. Published in 2001, this edition features 184 pages and a paperback binding.
