----------------------
On the surface, a story of a young man, Robert Wringhim, who encounters a doppelganger and is subsequently forced to commit murders. However, underneath lies a disturbing, unclassifiable text using multiple narratives and voices, which gave the book the status of the earliest postmodern text in the history of literature.
Perhaps the ultimate unclassifiable novel, Confessions of a Justified Sinner will take the reader for a fascinating journey into the world of angels, devils, possessions and delusion.
