A neo-noir tale of what happens when weak men make hard times. As society unravels there is pushback from those consciously aware, enter the white everyman who, in the face of escalating turmoil, surrenders to a subtle yet overwhelming madness. All he desired was to be left alone, but now he was an ordinary man at war. His was an unconventional daily life, grasping at a sanity that was quickly slipping away, leading to the justification of unjustifiable actions. A monster borne from the failures of a once-polite society, he grapples with blurred lines between right and wrong in a haze of manufactured fantasies. As the narrative unfolds, it is clear he is losing part of himself. The world he was born into is not the one he is forced to inhabit. As there is a rapid acceleration to his violence there is added fuel for his hallucinations, as an underlying sadness is the propellant to the flames. A terrifying and gripping tale, Tennison Long crafts a kaleidoscopic meditation on masculinity, technology, corruption, and society's precipitous decline.
