The Eschaton Sequence

This unusual text, The Eschaton Sequence, represents a serious engagement with ideas of modern literary theory/philosophy. Written in an enigmatic aphoristic style there runs nonetheless a narrative describing the act of immersion of an author into the act of writing, raising questions about identity, agency, communication, perception, ritual and more. The format plays with the idea of intertexuality, read almost as a precursor to hyperlinks, and its range of reference to classic and popular culture is wide and rich. The text toys with the idea of death of the author as a form of virtual bloodletting or even suicide, exploring the idea of what remains as a form of archetype or psyche. In its reflections and engagement with postmodern authors this collection of maxims is perfect for browsing in hurried moments. There is plenty of wisdom dispensed on a variety of topics from death to terrorism to dance to sex. For inquiring and curious intellectual minds this is a potentially rewarding and entertaining book.
