Fiction. "Open MULTIFESTO anywhere, careful reader, and your feet will come unmoored from the ground, your liver will be eaten by hungry jackals, substituting for an eagle, and your eyes, feeding your brain phrases such as 'I am reading a book, ' will grow thick with beautiful cataracts. The text spins like a square planet into untold dimensions of heat and light--where heat, no longer warm, and light, no longer bright, are free to assume new costumes in a Mardi Gras drag show."--Raymond Federman"Very seldom does a book come along that's as difficult to characterize as Davis Schneiderman's MULTIFESTO: A HENRI D'MESCAN READER, a baroque architecture of writing, a wedding-cake of literary history, criticism, politics, and art. It's as though Duchamp, Deleuze and Guattari, and Burroughs have collaborated to create a work that is part artist book, part biography, part album, all send-up-a work that is determined to throw the definition of literature into flux once again."--Steve Tomasula
