ABOUT PHIL HENDERSON
- “Raw, raging, murderously truthful in statement and vision, calling to mind Celine’s Death on the Installment Plan and Alfred Doblin’s Berlin Alexanderplatz….his novel has the power of a nuclear fusillade.” –John A. Williams, on Life of Death
- “Lewis does have an eye for the complete lack of empowerment at the core of many Black American experiences. (He) captures the worst working-for-the-man nightmares any overworked, underpaid, unappreciated brother or sister could have. The epithets fly as fast as the dishes hurled at coworkers, all the characters rabid to put down anyone different from themselves.“ –James Hannaham, Village Voice, on Life of Death
- “Life of Death fits most comfortably on the shelf with Clarence Major's All-Night Visitors, Ronald Sukenick's Up, and Susan Quist's Indecent Exposure. There are even touches of Donald Barthelme and Gilbert Sorrentino here, such as making litanies of objects from popular culture and having great fun in concocting long strings of preposterous names for rock groups and songs - not that such practices mollify the author's anger. Instead, his subtly antimimetic stance helps his writings rise beyond the windy bluster that characterizes Celine at his worst. And where the ghastly details of Doblin sometimes become an end in themselves, Lewis is able to use such material transformatively, offering a picture of life that is inventively instructive rather than just ironically surreal.“ –Jerome Klinkowitz, on Life of Death
- “Caustic wit…politically pointed” –Michael Berube, on Life of Death
- “I enjoyed reading Nate so much that I read scenes to anyone within hearing distance. P. Lewis is an original talent whose English cuts through a lot of contemporary BS like a butcher knife. His characters don't give a flying F- whether you feel for them or not. It's important that a powerful novel such as this surfaces at a time when the black lit scene is being smothered by a lot of dumb frivolous chick-lit and down low scribbling. Anybody want to know where the kick-behind black male literary tradition of Himes, Wright, John A. Williams went? It's alive and well in Berlin.” –Ishmael Reed, on Nate
- “According to the author, this self-published 2006 American Book Award-winning novel was turned down by every major publisher in the United States. It is a brutally funny novel satirizing diverse subjects from American military misadventures, African-American cultural politics, to the chaos of contemporary American life. Like the protagonists of Nathaniel West's The Day of the Locust or Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man, the eponymous hero, Nathan James Morris, is a classic picaro, a naive everyman and would-be artist whose foolhardiness shows us more about American life and the human condition than would seem possible in one novel.”—Darryl Dickson-Carr, on Nate

Bol...ljudska
Surovi realitet empatijski omeđen iskrenim pretpostavkama življenja u traženju mogućnosti egzistencije. No, iako utisnut unutar pojavnosti sopstvenih riječi i poruka, ali i otisnut valovima sopstvene dubine, Philip Lewis Henderson ne bježi od vlastite boli. Pripadnost ljudima je najveća bol. Iskonska, vanvremenska, božanska...bol. Pisac i pjesnik se hrabro odriče prava na šutnju i iako satjeran u ugao mogućih alternativa, on glasno zri u boli. Ne samo svojoj. Već i našoj. Usmjeren cilju opstanka ličnosti. Sa stavom, mišlju i porukom. A protiv boli. One, ljudske. Riječ urednika Mr.sc. Sabahudin Hadžialić 1.9.2014. |
The pain...of human
The harsh reality empathically bounded with sincere assumptions of the living in search of possibility for existence. However, although stamped inside the manifestation his own words and messages, and printed through the waves of own depth, Philip Lewis Henderson is not running away his very own pain. Belonging to the people is the biggest pain. The aboriginal, timeless, divine kind ... of pain. Writer and poet bravely waived his right to remain silent, and although driven into the corner of the possible alternatives, he loudly matures in pain. Not just of his. But also of our own. Aimed for the goal for the survival of personality. With an stand, thought and the message. And against the pain. The human kind. Editor's word Sabahudin Hadžialić, Msc 1.9.2014. |
