Description
A radical, fragmented work of experimental fiction, this book follows a psychiatrist moving through a disorienting landscape where violence, celebrity, technology, and mass media blur the boundaries between reality and hallucination. Its provocative vignettes and feverish imagery transform modern culture into a surreal spectacle, challenging conventional ideas of narrative, identity, and desire. Exploring the psychological impact of war, advertising, political assassination, and consumerism, the novel is both a disturbing cultural diagnosis and a daring reinvention of the form. Intensely imaginative and deliberately unsettling, it remains a landmark of avant-garde literature.
