The Assisted Living Facility Library

Richard Kalich

4.9/5 (29443 ratings)

Description:Richard Kalich’s new novel is a culmination of his decades-long exploration of the human soul and the capstone of his literary output that Betimes Books is proud to have assembled in an omnibus edition called Central Park West Trilogy. The novels included in the trilogy are postmodern fables—dark, shocking, perversely funny, wickedly astute, and compulsively readable, they share Kalich’s ferocious energy and unique vision. Together, they subvert standard notions of plot and character, and form a body of work that is distinctive and brilliant.This fourth novel is an honest and brutal self-assessment, a meditation on life and art, and the sacrifice of one to the other. Written in Kalich’s spare style that seems effortless, but where each word carries the weight of years of writing and reflections, The Assisted Living Facility Library is a heart-breaking metafictional masterpiece by a tragic humanist.Kalich experiments with narrative form and characters, pulling us into a murky place where we are left to wonder: what is the difference between Kalich the author, Kalich the character and Kalich the man? Can we ever know what is going on inside the head of another human being?“What makes The Assisted Living Facility Library so powerful is its ability to combine formal rigor and meta-fictional playfulness with an almost yearning—but altogether genuine and painful—emotionality. This is experimental fiction at its best and most human. With the control of the great postmodernists and the precision of detail of Murnane, this is a book about the way in which books form a life, and how, as a life comes to its end, both the books and the life itself become whittled down to what is glowingly essential.” —Brian Evenson“Last night I finished reading The Assisted Living Facility Library. I found it very moving and very disturbing – but more moving than disturbing. Please don’t take this wrong, but it’s possible that you’ve written the last postmodern novel; or maybe the last twentieth-century novel; or maybe the last novel, period. (Not really, of course; there’ll be plenty of books published in years to come with novel on the title-page. It’s just that there shouldn’t be.)” —Brian McHale to Richard KalichWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
