FULL COLOR EDITION “J.A. Tyler and John Dermot Woods have made an object as beautiful as a paper ship." – Luca Dipierro, author of Biscotti Neri and Das Ding “Tyler and Woods volley language and image to construct a new and bracing presentation of identity as at once smeared across a centerless space and anchored by the weight of a single human heart.” – Evan Lavender-Smith, author of Avatar “The incantatory, hypnotic examinations of ‘me and you and how we are connected’ unfold along an edge where Martin Buber meets André Breton.” – Jon Cotner & Andy Fitch, authors of Ten Walks/Two Talks In this startling collaborative novel, Tyler and Woods tell a story that explores the closely linked experiences of communion and suffocation, creating their narrator's world by setting a beat with mesmerizing chapters of rhythmic prose exploded by frantic full-color illustrations. This book could as easily be described as a horror novel as a love story. The authors’ experimental techniques come together in a book that tells the most classic tale of passion and loss.
