Crowd Crush (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780578364124)

Oscar is traveling to research mass casualty human stampedes, and his panic attacks and agoraphobia aren't helping.Crowd Crush is his whirlwind freakout of a story, screaming across America, hurling himself awkwardly onto Europe, then smashing face-first into the Indian subcontinent. Crowd Crush tears through ten cities in ten posts, and as Oscar gets further from home his anxieties increase until he fears that India's population density will push him over the edge. Carlos José Camblor's premier novel is a fictional travel blog set in the year 2011, and it takes a critical look at the ascendance of digital literature while it follows Oscar's journey. It is packed with the history and science of both human stampedes and social anxiety disorder, and it is the very first novel of its kind-one that dives directly into the mysteries and horrors of Crowd Crush.
