About This Item
Minneapolis, Minnesota, U.S.A.: Milkweed Editions, 2008. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Original Wraps. New/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. In I AM DEAT: Bartleby the Mobster, muckraking journalist Jack finds himself increasingly over the edge when he agrees to ghostwrite the autobiography of a Chicago mob boss. PEASANTS, publishing employee Walter Rasmussen discovers he's the victim of sabotage by his coworkers - or is he? As in his stunning debut, VISIGOTH, Gary Amdahl here isolates his characters in crisis and flux, drawing out their deepest fears. With its vivid wordplay and blend of black humor and pathos, I AM DEATH demonstrates that Amdahl is a most adept and honest guide into the modern psyche of the American male. Author of VISIGOTH, winner of the 2006 Milkweed National Fiction Prize. PBO, printed on acid-free paper, as issued in stiff pictorial wraps without dust jacket. L167/L50
