Review:

"In Death Kit Susan Sontag has written a terrifying black novel with the fierce unsettling thrust of a Kafka-esque fable. It is a truly awesome book, forged from a stark in which staccato sentences and near-documentary observations are fused into a brilliantly sustained style." --Boston Globe

"It seems an impertinence merely to recommend this book for its literary qualities. Death Kit is an experience beyond definition, part novel, part thriller, part philosophy, part dream." --Douglas M. Davis, The National Observer

"Death Kit is a strange and wonderful book, a ritual exorcising of modern terrors, a dream book of love and death . . . Sontag conjures up scenes of sordid everyday life that are as brutal and macabre as anything in Raymond Chandler or Nathaniel West." --Frederic Tuten, Vogue

"This novel is 'real art'--disconcerting, absorbing, entertaining (in the Greek sense of the verb; to grip), and extremely unnerving. One can only say, in the most direct way: read it." --Doris Grumbach

"Death Kit . . . is a powerful visionary novel and a remarkable achievement. Miss Sontag has written an extraordinary novel, a Kafka-ish nightmare of an American Jederman, which proclaims at once her soaring talent and her profound pessimism." --John Barkham, Saturday Review

From the Back Cover:

'A Kafka-esque fable. It is a truly awesome book' Boston Globe

Dalton 'Diddy' Harron, thirty-three, divorced and mild-mannered, works in advertising for a microscope manufacturer and feels his life is running down. After a failed suicide attempt, he finds himself on a train and becomes involved with a young blind woman, and drawn towards madness and murder. Diddy's attempts to escape his actions and his demons draw him into an increasingly nightmarish, surreal world where reality and dream bleed into each other. Published in 1967, Susan Sontag's second novel is a blackly disturbing and compelling meditation on life, death and the relationship between them.

'A strange and wonderful book, a ritual exorcising of modern terrors, a dream book of love and death' Vogue
