Death Kit by Susan Sontag
A novel that offers a passionate exploration of the recesses of the American conscience. It presents a narrative of the suffering of Dalton 'Diddy' Harron, told through his own observations. It brings the haphazard events of his life, including killing a railway worker and falling in love with a blind girl.
'In Death Kit Susan Sontag has written a terrifying black novel with the fierce unsettling thrust of a Kafka-esque fableIt is a truly awesome book, forged from a stark form in which staccato sentences and near-documentary observations are fused into a brilliantly sustained style.' Boston Globe
