A Modest Apocalypse

Viac o knihe

Poetry. Hassan Melehy's debut collection is a blistering retort to the Eisenhower America that drove his literary heroes half-mad, expressed in a taut, sometimes furious, savage lyricism of a man born with a Muslim name at a time of growing hate. Exploring sexual desire, love, literary taste, and diving into the franco-American lingo of Kerouac, this is a discomfiting, passionate, and original expression of the Beat world for a 21st century in need of voices of protest.
