Assisted Living A Novel

Swedish novelist's Nikanor Teratologen's Assisted Living draws what must be the most purely evil portrait of humanity in all of Scandinavian literature (if indeed its cartoon characters can be considered human). Like the Marquis de Sade before him, Teratologen has plumbed the depths of the darkest reaches of the imagination with frightening glee, leaving no horror unattended to, no taboo unviolated - be it murder, incest, Nazi fetishism, substance abuse, or even continental philosophy -- and what results is a nearly exhaustive catalog of evil's possibilities and permutations... the horrors and hypocrisies of our contemporary reality show through.-- Cover.
