Cult favorite author Tito Perdue--whom the New York Press called "America's Lost Literary Genius"--here reemerges with this new novel about the peculiar afterlife of Leland Pefley. After a life of misdemeanors, Lee had hoped that death would bring an end to things; instead, he awakens into a very bad place full of cold weather, strange tortures, and some of history's most hapless people. His one consolation? An opportunity to chase down his beloved wife who had preceded him in death a few years before he had contrived his own. Equipped with his walking cane, a book of matches, a pair of pretty good shoes, and a tourist brochure, he makes slow progress through a landscape that bears an uncanny resemblance to the America that he thought he had left behind. Perdue has been compared to writers from Faulkner to Beckett, and in Fields of Asphodel we are reintroduced to one of our true literary talents--and to Leland Pefley, a truly powerful fictional creation.
