In his recent novels--including his award-winning Hopeful
Monsters--Nicholas Mosley has investigated the patterns that govern
our mental and emotional lives and the possibilities that we have
for change, and nowhere has he explored such themes with greater
concentration than in Catastrophe Practice. A unique book whose
characters and concerns are the basis for the other four novels of
the Catastrophe Practice Series - Hopeful Monsters, Imago Bird,
Judith, and Serpent-- Catastrophe Practice is remarkable both in
its form (three plays with prefaces and a novella) and in its
ability to convey the complexities of thought. Drawing upon
catastrophe theory to examine the discontinuities in human
personality and our tendency to progress suddenly rather than
smoothly, the six characters of Catastrophe Practice struggle to
disrupt traditional ways of being. These characters (and the
author) feel that conventional ways of interpreting the world have
become destructive--conventional language, conventional feelings,
conventional situations--and try to find a way to realize genuine
experience.
