Requiem Pa

In this tragicomic novel, White creates a familiar,but strange 'pornographic' culture in which the,sterility of sex and death signal a more,fundamental epidemic: the loss of what it means to,be human. Told through a collage of,letters-to-the-editor, an email correspondence,with a porn queen, biographies of classical,musicians, public radio interviews and retellings,of Bible stories, REQUIEM is an artistic and,intellectual tour de force from one of the,funniest and most earnest commentators on,contemporary culture.
