The Self-Pity Chronicles (Empty Press 2011) is the latest installment in Martin Perlich’s series of novels “The Adequacy Quartet. In this “humorous tale of depression, suicide, and public radio,” Perlich continues the story of fictional anti-hero Mitch Hertz as he navigates the backstairs of broadcasting politics, privatized mental institutions, and his slowly disintegrating mind. Structured as a journal, The Self-Pity Chronicles unravels in real-time, recounting the downfall of a played-out writer and disenchanted social revolutionary in all it’s gut-wrenching, bell-laughing, cringe-inducing detail.
Novelist and underground radio pioneer Martin Perlich, has also worked as a cabdriver, warehouse worker, labor activist and Sales Manager for Pasquini Espresso Company. He has developed and produced film (Lion’s Gate Films, Film Four London, American Playhouse) Network and Public TV (NBC-TV; KCET-TV). His archive of Arts Interviews, and new Web-series CONVERSATIONS IN NEW MUSIC is available on the UCLA Digital Network.
