DESCRIPTION:
"Do not read this book. Never before has such analytical power and narrative brilliance been applied to a subject so universally obscured and evaded -- the endlessly violent geographies of killing times, of killing spaces, of the ruthless efficiencies of optimal, optimized evil. Experience it. Doel sets out to hit us in the face and the stomach with the myriad horrors of our world, our lives and deaths, and no reader will ever be quite the same after this breathtaking journey through genocides, gulags, and incinerated cities. This is powerful cognitive crystal meth, a stunning work of apocalyptic beauty and catastrophic grace."--Elvin Wyly (04/21/2017)
