Description

In a torrent of rage, love, and irony, Adrian C. Louis explodes all the myths and hypocrisy of Middle America in the twenty-first century.

This is how Walt Whitman or Allen Ginsburg might have written about our post-9/11 world - where the realities of poverty on Indian reservations and the plight of Hurricane Katrina victims come in second place to the vagaries of Homeland Security.

For Louis, both he and our nation face an uncertain future.

Like many of us he is trapped in a surreal void of the present, where he is faced with middle age and isolation, the death of loved ones, an unsatisfying job, and the battle against loneliness and self-destruction.

He writes as if he has nothing left to lose but then fills the page with bittersweet sorrow for everything that has been lost.

Armed with unforgettable images, relentless rhythms, and a dark and scathing humor, Louis takes aim at this American life.
