| Summary: | "The Last News Vendor is the story of a one-legged news vendor with a dilapidated newsstand, an exotic dancer with a penchant for witchcraft, and an existentialist narrator who develops a plan to fade out of his own life in a subversive and comically absurd attempt at self-preservation, leaving his partner and two children with no memory of him. It is an allegory of transformation, reality, and the absurdity of human existence; a dreamlike meditation on broken spirituality, a collapsing society, and the overburdened contemporary soul."-- |
