An intriguing new offering into innovative literature — the author best describes Lüz: “part artifice and part inquiry into the project of knowing the world—that is, into the attempt to circumscribe reality, whether through analysis or invention. I set out to explore what motivates that attempt, its tragicomic limits, and how it might function as a response to guilt and loss. My questions yielded the following document, a portrait of a society united and estranged by its use of signs. I called that society “Lüz” for its double sense: both a homonym of “lose, v.” and—minus the umlaut—the Spanish word for light.” The book features a beautiful cover image by Leandro Katz: “Lunar Typewriter,” from The Lunar Alphabet Project.
