"A singular novel." -Lydia Davis, author of Can't and Won't and
Essays One "An exhilarating adventure!" -Alberto Manguel, author of
The Library at Night and Fabulous Monsters "Extraordinary. . . .
Brings to mind the great mushroom scenes of the film Phantom
Thread. How not to be aroused by this whopping treat of verbal
virtuosity?" -Mary Ann Caws, author of The Modern Art Cookbook
Aseroe, the mushroom, as object of fascination. First observed in
Tasmania and South Africa, it appeared suddenly in France around
1920. It is characterized by its stench and, at maturity, its
grotesque beauty. Aseroe, the word, as incantation. Can a word
create a world? It does, here. Francois Dominique is a conjurer,
who through verbal sorcery unleashes the full force of language,
while evoking the essential rupture between the word and the
object. An impossible endeavor, perhaps, but one at the very heart
of literature. The narrator of Aseroe wanders medieval streets and
dense forests, portrait galleries, and rare bookshops. As he
explores the frontiers of language, the boundaries of science, art,
and alchemy melt away, and the mundane is overtaken by the bizarre.
Inhabited by creatures born in darkness, both terrible and
alluring, Aseroe is ultimately a meditation on memory and
forgetting, creation, and oblivion. Francois Dominique is an
acclaimed novelist, essayist, poet, and translator. He has received
the Burgundy Prize for Literature and is the author of eight
novels, including Aseroe and Solene, winner of the Wepler Award and
Prix litteraire Charles Brisset. He has translated the poetry of
Louis Zukofsky and Rainer Maria Rilke and is the cofounder of the
publishing house Ulysses-Fin-de-Siecle.
