imultaneously his most accessible and his most extreme book, e
r
Anthony Metivier’s The Tupperware Blitzkrieg is a powerful
concoction of sexual excess, self-deification and terminal violence.
In this hallucinatory novel, plastic surgery, psychoanalysis and the
pornography of American politics provide the hellish tableau in which
Doctor Umbilico, founder of ‘People for the Advancement of Lying’
T
turned PCP swilling nightmare priest of the surgical ward, executes
h
biomorphical atrocities culminating in the capture and radical e

T
transformation of an eerily Bush-like apocalyptic president. Multiple u
p
characters tell the story of this twisted visionary as he careens forward
p
e
with his own maniacal pitch for world domination.

As The Tupperware Blitzkrieg hurtles toward its unforgettable e

conclusion, Metivier depicts the most sordid aspects of contemporary B
l
i
commercial life in a complex, obsessive, often poetic and disquieting t
z
k
chronicle of aesthetic anomie, erotic entropy and the ‘slurrealistic”
r
i
e
threat of cosmetic inefficiency. No reader of Metivier’s most
g
inflammatory work to date will emerge unscathed.

Anthony Metivier

The views expressed in this novel are not necessarily
those of any friction.

for Ingrid

Wherever the want of clothing forced them to it, the
human race made clothes for thousands of years,
without a single man becoming a tailor.

Marx

I would like my books to be kinds of scalpels.

Foucault

A very pretty true cut.
