A rhizomatic epic poem disguised as a novel... "A psychedelic odyssey of love and spiritual discovery." "Four hundred billion stars for Brian Charles Clark's world-heavyweight champion novel... In this hallucinatory yet grounded tale, our narrator employs a richly allusive style, half Joyce, half William Borroughs." "Brian Clark's romp through a world of static television screens and desert landscapes sends science crashing headlong into fiction with its highbeams on. The resulting wreckage, Splitting, is a jagged collage of delicate poetry, hip-flasked theory and high-energy prose broadcast directly from the cerebral cortex of a bisexual potassium terrorist stuggling to resist the systematic telepathic colonization of earth by hyperlingual aliens. Using a host of agents, neurotic doctors, and psychotic drugs, the aliens are replacing our fractured, amnesiac reality with a cohesive, linear history that corrodes the human capacity to think." "Brian Clark's first novel is a fever dream: a voluptuous explosion of melody and rhythm. A gender-bending ride in search of spiritual identity, Splitting revels in the regenerative power of art and language." |
