Description
Literary Nonfiction. A collection of sarcasms, disgruntlements and mordant reflections in the manner of the great melancholics and misanthropes of the past. Yet with an aim, which is to blast away all the received wisdom, religious verities and humanistic ideals, and to write with such honesty "that the reader drops dead on the spot." Louis Bourgeois prescribes a stern remedy against the certainty that "everything flows"—embrace the Abyss.
"All knowledge," he asserts, "is death knowledge." "What you've feared the most now confronts you in black and white. Louis Bourgeois is the Antichrist. His highly prophetic message, HOSANNA, will shock you with all that's true, and you won't complain or try to resist the pain.... You won't be able to move an inch."—Zachary C. Bush
