O knihe
This is perhaps the most unique novel you
will ever read. It contains no conventional narrative. The
voice that delivers the plot and its messages is the voice
the main character constantly hears in his head. The voice
constantly speaks in short imperatives, and often separates
into two bickering voices. Presenting this mental condition
requires second-person writing, something rarely found in
fiction.
An afriation is an organization or
institution that forces one to constantly associate with
people one wouldn't choose for company. This novel's main
character is not an easy person to like, but is very easy to
empathize with. This mentally unsound individual has an
excessive fear of "afriats," people we are forced to
interact with via an afriation. As a result, he is often a
homeless transient feeling forced into being either a
trespasser or a vagrant.
The "voice" in our
character's mind carries you with him hitchhiking on
freeways, hopping freight trains, struggling with employment
in a conventional afriation, side-stepping civilization, and
going to jail. It follows his thought processes as tension
leads to a mental collapse.
This novel is more than
a typical action fiction. It presents a unique and valuable
insight into our social structure that is yet to be dealt
with by social scientists, one that is based on the types of
social interactions we encounter.
