LÜZ
by Lindsay Stern

Description

Lindsay Stern’s second publication of progressive and innovative fiction, featuring a cover image by Leandro Katz:(“Lunar Typewriter,” from The Lunar Alphabet project, ©1978), is an inventive novella-length experiment in uniting argument and myth to explore a society both united and estranged by its use of signs, and draws on the ideas of Luis Buñuel, Anne Carson, M.C. Escher, Sigmund Freud, Kurt Gödel and Plato.

Daniel Hall, author of Under Sleep, called LÜZ, “an ingenious braiding of fiction and philosophical inquiry, a creation myth so strange and so queerly told it seems to have been ‘fed through a prism.’ It is a surprisingly original work by a surprisingly young writer, although the only thing about the book that hints at her youth is its sheer audacity. Here is a captivating new voice, darting, mercurial, and wise.”
