The narrative employs a clever and satirical literary style, demonstrating Butlers adeptness at blending humor with poignant commentary. This novella, rooted in the early 20th century, reflects the burgeoning anxieties of a rapidly modernizing world, where the importance of material culture begins to outshine deeper values. Through the lens of a seemingly innocuous unit of weight, Butler deftly critiques the commodification of existence and the absurdities of our age. Ellis Parker Butler, a prominent figure in early American literature, was greatly influenced by the shifting paradigms of his time, leading him to deeply investigate themes of identity and materialism in his work. Raised in the Midwest and later established in New York, Butlers diverse experiences and keen observations of American life enabled him to carve out a distinctive voice among his contemporaries. His interest in societal norms and personal value systems permeates "Kilo," where he engages with the complexities of consumerism in a light-hearted yet thought-provoking manner. For readers interested in a witty and incisive critique of early 20th-century American culture, "Kilo" is a must-read. Butlers ability to intertwine humor with philosophical inquiry makes this work not only an entertaining narrative but also a reflective mirror to society, encouraging readers to ponder the implications of their own values in a commodified world.</p>...3931372Kilo2525https://www.gandhi.com.mx/kilo-4064066173562/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/3388583/b60b10e0-e680-4814-90f7-5ec0e5eb5912.jpg?v=638385303696130000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20194064066173562_W3siaWQiOiJmNjYzN2Q1OS0zNWM1LTQ4MTUtOTk2OS01YzYwYTA5ZDlmYTIiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjQ1LCJkaXNjb3VudCI6MCwic2VsbGluZ1ByaWNlIjo0NSwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjUtMDEtMDdUMTA6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d4064066173562_<p>Kilo by Ellis Parker Butler.
