Two writers decide to write a book together. They sit in the same room, nose-wrinklingly close, writing, trading pages, expanding each other's stories. But it doesn't take long before they start cutting up, mashing up and purposefully fucking up each other's prose. They dodge and parry, gouge at eyeballs, bite. In moments of tenderness, they pet each other in the wounded night. Their narrative grows increasingly chaotic, linked only by harum-scarum leitmotifs and a mounting scatological lexicon.
"Each word he utters is mutilated..."
Abecedarium
, the epic short experimental novel deftly executed, autopsied, and cremated by two talented post-modern dissectors of the English language (Schneiderman & Hernandez), will blow your mind, rewire your brain, and then short circuit the whole organ. Across differing styles and numerous genres, the novel is held together by Fex, one killer multi-tasking anti-character who bends space, time, and traditional structure like a genetically-minded and militaristic Lord Orlando on a science fiction acid trip with Burroughs at his side. A delight for the literary adventurer, Abecedarium leaves you at a loss for words while you struggle with too many. Slick. Cluttered. Jarring. Fine. Dandy. Ugly. Magnetic. Sensational. Deliberate. Rewarding. Undoubtedly Awesome. Experience it for yourself, there is no other way.
