This Modern Man is Beat is a novel-in stories chronicling the life and times of Habib bin Habib Al Fulan—born in El Salvador, of Palestinian stock, but eventually ending up in Miami. Acting as an Everyman in each story, we get to explore varied versions of Habib at different stages of life. Linked by theme and character with singular wit, black humor, and sometimes bawdy depictions of sex, drugs, and violence, it is also a sincere love story the delves deep into the failings and triumphs of the modern man’s psyche.
