About this product
Product Information
A potent, poisonous powerhouse of rage, desperation, and desire laced with maniacal comedy In one long delirious outburst, narrator Louie Phillips takes aim at life in a crumbling suburb of Washington, D.C., and skewers the bourgeois attitudes that keep him from succeeding as an artist. Phillips, living in a state of rock-bottom exasperation, plots to escape his parents and the education at a black college that he believes is designed to whiten him up. Determined to make enough money to launch his European art career, Phillips accepts a job for low wages at the Dummheit Café, branch of a worldwide corporation with investments in South Africa. There his coworkers' petty politics and hysterically erotic lifestyle ensnare him. Although he resents his exploitation, the need for money daily lures him back, and fear of his true feelings. Finally, when his mother steals the pittance he saved from his wages, he retaliates by swiping her jewelry and all the money from Dummheit's safe and feeling to Istanbul. Life of Death creates a stunning narration of a young black man's initiation into adult life and the American workplace. It is a remarkable debut from a writer unafraid of exploding the comforting myths masquerading as contemporary American culture.

Reviews
"The book is raging, raw, murderously truthful in statement and vision, calling to mind Louis-Ferdinand Celine's Death on the Installment Plan and Alfred Doblin's Berlin Alexanderplatz. . . . Lewis's vision is fixed upon Inferno, and his novel has the power of a nuclear fusillade." John A. Williams, author of Captain Blackman and If I Stop I'll Die: The Comedy and Tragedy of Richard Pryor

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
