Composed of one hundred thirty-one pieces divided midway by a solid red page, Headless World confronts the invention of Time within the universe of human experience, memory and desire. Impressionistic, disruptive, and hermetically philosophical, this is a strangely alluring, disturbingly prophetic, and comically horrifying novel. The edges between human reality and inhuman fantasy are sharply observed and imbued with saturated colors, sensual cravings, sonic banality, ontological mystery, theatrical cruelty, and an encroaching trans-human future. "There's something uncanny about Headless World, as if Death was broadcasting a mysteriously encoded sit-com to let us know it's on its way, or as if an alien species that had devoured our memories was now using them to shift the syntax of our thoughts. As if several childhoods that had only ever appeared on television suddenly came to life as an amnesiac's fragmented memories of the twentieth century, the laughs played for horror and the horror for laughs. A strange object, unlike any other book you'll ever read, relentless, hilarious, a ferocious trance, a secret key. The final Ascher/Straus novel will help you think about time and memory and what's been missing from the screens that replaced our heads-almost all of us, almost everything. A brilliant lucid dream about technologies that continue to root so deeply into reality that they've become the fairy tales we recite to children as we're decapitating them one more time."-Stephen Beachy, author of Glory Hole (FC2)
