Description

Space out on western naturalism and quiet harmony, the psychopoetic dawn of the solar-radiated schizo is here and surreal the death of industry brings hope and opportunity, reasons to travel the distance and shoot gaps translate the holiest writ from sawdust ether. Nicholas Rall lives into it, playing against type as a novelist with profound musical instincts and sensibilities. Whimsy for the experience and a prayer for the results, but stay out of the results if you want them to be good. Let fate take a hand and the rope slip on the sword, impaling you on sobering beauty. Munt and Elbo and Vitt and Lyle are a spiritual family of outcasts cast in sepia hues, grainy details and composed of some of the craziest things you’ll ever see. They are headed to the river or already there. They’ve been in contact through letters and videotape. AFx8ccd is a book dizzy with movement, love for carriers and couriers, a tourism of surrender to the potential impossibility of living in states of unskilled manual labor without magic in terrestrial veins. The engine isn’t romance but it could be anything, it’s all the same to a vessel on the starlit highway looking for a clarion call to clear the air when the heart of the city beats under concrete and cement streets, a concrescence of deliquescent elements in their sanctified essence, a reunion of people who’ve never met to remind you of no one you’ve ever known, a release of cosmicomic energy, a motion smoothing of nuclear breath to pass this cup over to a new generation of fleet-footed thinkers trembling with heart and frisson, a sensation in the process of becoming a story bright enough to light up underwater caves. AFx is a novel that can’t wait to be held and read and pocketed at consumer grade for commercial and private use. It is for now nothing but an unrealized gain, a promising soulside prospect just over the estate of your life. A honeymoon oblivion.
