As low-budget films are sometimes called 'B movies', EVEN SILENCE
NODS is a 'B epic'. It is an absurd book that tries to relay the
misadventures of some stock characters in an icy jungle. Pure
escapism: perhaps amusing; guaranteed stupid.
A collection of short texts: some are like weird stories for
children, some are like testimonies from outlandish dimensions,
some are like jokes without punchlines (anticlimactic on purpose),
and some are just too convoluted to summarize.
A collection of short, enigmatic texts: some are nonsensical, some
wrestle with biblical ideas, and some are simply strange.
A collection of texts that are at once finicky and childish.
A collection of infra-thin books: IMPATIENS is a textual experiment
conducted for the purpose of amusing its author; THE RADIATOR GIRLS
AT STRAPONTIN LODGE is a zany composition with feminine fruits; WHY
I AM NOT A SURREALIST is not an essay but an absurd, escapist,
untimely, obscure experiment; THE STICKUP CONTINUUM is a brief
non-story, like a mosaic made from memories of so-called 'film
noir' movies, that values style over substance and is purposely
devoid of plot; NEW AMERICA is a textual composition with unsettled
carriage returns; THE FLOATY-THING'S GO-TO BOY is something like a
postmodern children's book for lazy adults; X PAGES OF HORN-FACE is
a questionably faithful description of the contents of a wordless
picture-book.
A purposely adolescent book, THE PERMANENT MODES depicts a few
trusty stock characters and creatures from B movies who undergo
various ill-conceived events. In addition to lacking
respectability, the tale freely adds or drops facts, names, and
plots whenever it feels like it. The book's five unnamed,
unnumbered sections might be interpreted as disordered pieces of
the same puzzle, or contradictory views of a difficult truth, or
just plain baloney.
