No Through World
by Denis Emorine

Description

With the voice of No Through World, the reader enters into a world of multiple gravities, a world where individuals constantly risk fracture and disintegration, where the threat of disappearance is echoed in numerous shadows that populate each corner and closet…the narrator dreams, hallucinates, wishes beyond his own powerlessness… Phillip John Usher (foreword)  “Mr. Emorine’s little book strikes me as valuable. These eccentric meditations on alienation are precisely relevant to the condition of many of us. Patrice Caron’sdelicate ink-wash drawing on the cover is somehow elegiac and therefore appropriate to that which it introduces.” (Norman Lock)

Excerpt:

Every night, I dream the same dream. I’m taking a walk in the garden. The night is so dark that I have to feel my way around, I move silently so as to go unnoticed. My bedroom window’s open, and through it a man, staying perfectly still, observes me.

Every night, I dream the same dream. In my bedroom, perfectly still, I observe a man who’s taking a walk in the garden. The night’s so dark that he has to feel his way around, he goes quietly so as to go unnoticed.

One day, maybe, these two men will be just one. That day, I will have stopped dreaming. We can hope that th two men will also have stopped dreaming.
