About This Item
Hanover, New Hampshire: Wesleyan University Press, 1992. first thus. hardcover. Book NF: clean, square, tight, unmarked/DJ NF: clean, unclipped. 12mo 149pp. from front flap: "The King of the Storeroom is presented as the journal of an unnamed narrator who has survived the complete collapse of the social and political infrastructure. He has found shelter and supplies in an abandoned cellar, and he begins writing in an effort to preserve language and reason, and with an idea of telling his stories to others in exchange for food. He fitfully recalls the events leading up to the final conflagration--the inevitable result of greed, the abuse of power, and the inherent dynamics of capitalism--and he describes the ensuing chaos and his own struggle to come to terms with his new environment." #02394.
