A criminal investigator's insane interpretations of an esoteric neuropath and a journalist's equally insane reasoning about the myth of reverse racism. A minor character's manic rambling about a childhood frenemy. A hermit nun imagining a Bosch-like triptych in her mind, while sitting on a chair of nails. An unwritten PHD thesis on the impossibility of language and hallucinogenic mushroom wine. The diasporic double consciousness of a poet laureate. Drunken tourists intruding into the sacred rituals of Japan. Contraband cheese smuggled from a monastery by an ex-CEO, sentenced to a future that never was. Petro-capitalism in the shadow of debased utopias. Surrealism in closed Russian cities. Guides on how to fail. Auto-crucifixion. The Methuselarity. Uppgivenhetssyndrom ... Over these scenes and more, a message spreads, a message in their story and their existence which no one will ever understand, its comprehension, not intended for human beings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrandon W.
