“Book Descriptions: The one book written in the 20th Century that outdoes Celine's Journey to the End of the Night in suspiring the miasma of World War One and its projections into the future, The two part masterpiece of Roberto Arlt, The Seven Madmen, The Flamethrowers has remained largely hidden by the inept or corrupted efforts of publishers to make a buck off a translated work in the United States. As Arlt published The Seven Madmen, clearly incomplete, in 1929, and then the rest of the novel, The Flamethrowers in 1931, publishers made do with just the first half until finally a layman named Larry Riley translated The Flamethrowers just so he could read the book. Readers of Arlt today will recognized all disasters now inevitable in their blightscape, doomed as any Arltonian characters. This is the first edition that follows Arlt's ideas, titles, words, and style published in English, unembellished as Arlt himself, one of the most personally beloved authors of the 20th century--an author who once under the skin of the reader remains, drinking literary pal and parasite of doom.” DRIVE
