Last Stand Of Mr America

Last Stand Of Mr America

by JasonFlores-Williams (Author)

Synopsis

Deep inside each of us there is a challenge: Individuality or Conformity? Action or Acceptance? One man, in spite of himself, is going to answer it. Sam is at the bottom of the American grave. His life is a meaningless cycle of work and television. The only thing he has left - besides twisted explorations in an underground sex club - is his dark, cutting sense of humour. The Last Stand of Mr America is an assault on the contemporary American tradition. Through transgendered dementia, a heterosexual liberates himself to find meaning in a void. The work is a purge of self: a redemption.
