Headless World: Or, the Problem of Time: A Novel - Mass Market Paperbound

by Ascher-Straus (Author)

Composed of one hundred thirty-one pieces divided midway by a solid red page, Headless World confronts the invention of Time within the universe of human experience, memory and desire. Impressionistic, disruptive, and hermetically philosophical, this is a strangely alluring, disturbingly prophetic, and comically horrifying novel by the authors of The Other Planet. The edges between human reality and inhuman fantasy are sharply observed and imbued with saturated colors, sensual cravings, sonic banality, ontological mystery, theatrical cruelty, and an encroaching trans-human future.
