Características

Simultaneously his most accessible and his most extreme book,Anthony Metiviers The Tupperware Blitzkrieg is a powerfulconcoction of sexual excess, self-deification and terminal violence.In this hallucinatory novel, plastic surgery, psychoanalysis and thepornography of American politics provide the hellish tableau in whichDoctor Umbilico, founder of People for the Advancement of Lyingturned PCP swilling nightmare priest of the surgical ward, executesbiomorphical atrocities culminating in the capture and radicaltransformation of an eerily Bush-like apocalyptic president. Multiplecharacters tell the story of this twisted visionary as he careens forwardwith his own maniacal pitch for world domination.As The Tupperware Blitzkrieg hurtles toward its unforgettableconclusion, Metivier depicts the most sordid aspects of contemporarycommercial life in a complex, obsessive, often poetic and disquietingchronicle of aesthetic anomie, erotic entropy and the slurrealisticthreat of cosmetic inefficiency. No reader of Metiviers mostinflammatory work to date will emerge unscathed.Anthony Metivier is the author of Solid as Echo, Anatomizing Regan, Lex TalionisSchadenfreude, and the forthcoming novels Babelantis, Die Brücke, and The TragickalHistorie of Doktor Fuse Less. In addition to the audiobook version of AnatomizingRegan, he has released the spoken word albums The Glass Snake, The Felicific Calculusand Techno-no.
