Pavement - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

A disenfranchised, unnamed loner decides to become a serial killer in this graphic, insightful novel about a man living in a society that is broken

The unnamed hero in this novel feels invisible. With no job, no hobbies, no friends, and no interests, he walks aimlessly looking at the size and types of paving stones on the London streets to avoid staying in his seedy rented room. No one cares, no one registers or connects with him. His doctor won't look at him when he goes in for his regular mental-health checks, the Job Centre Plus staff process his claim with disdain, his landlady shouts at him through his closed door. Suffering from depression, OCD, and compulsive masturbatory impulses, he is a nobody. The disconnection from society leads him to believe that he could kill and get away with it. Research at the library helps with drawing up a list of tools needed to dismember and dispose of a body. His first victim drowns in the canal after trying to rob the withered-arm hero. As his lustful appetite increases the body-count escalates, but there is no police investigation to stop him. In what is the most shocking and vivid conclusion, Pavement is sure to cause an outcry.
