Death Sentences

Deathsentencescover-small

Peter “Pop” Popovich is a 24-year-old unemployed glazier, anti-Semite and white supremacist who is pushed over the edge by his alcoholic mother, his unresponsive lover, an uncaring stepfather and a right-wing hate machine that tells him liberals want to take away his guns and his freedom.  While he waits to be executed for his crimes, “Pop” squibs sentences, whole paragraphs, a novel about life on Death Row in which he reprises the life that landed him there.

Death Sentences is based on an incident in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in April 2006, when a lone gunman, convinced that the government was coming to take away his guns, had a four-hour standoff with police that ended with three deaths.  This explosive novel, reminiscent of the works of Ed Bunker and Charles Bukowski, is a hellish story from the American underclass.
