The Coordinates of (His) Separation
by Kevin O’Cuinn

Description

The Coordinates of (His) Separation is a compilation of compressed story-telling by Kevin O Cuinn, an uncategorizable Irish writer currently living in Germany.  Featuring original cover art and design by Jarod  Roselló, it collects many of O Cuinn’s progressive and innovative fictions that reflect influences  of Flann O’Brien, Kelly Link, and Borges with an overlayment of contemporary quirky strangeness.

Antonia Crane, author of Spent, said of this book “Kevin O Cuinn’s new collection of stories and prose reminds me of Lidia Yukvavitch’s A Chronology of Water in their most breath-sucking moments. O Cuinn’s voice captures phan-tom desire at its most ritualistic and carnal—the enraged flirty glance from a red-haired punk girl at a green light, a silent, secret assault in church ‘While Oliver Paints.’ O Cuinn’s most delicious moments exist in brutal wonder that points to the wound and asks: is that a dark bruise or rocker chick makeup?”
