Battle Without Honor or Humanity: Volume 2
(2016)(The second book in the Battle Without Honor or Humanity series)
A novel by D Harlan Wilson
"The clouds glow above the forest fi re like the holographic brains of mathematicians . . ."
J. G. Ballard once confessed that his worst fear was an atrophy of the imagination brought on by anti-intellectualism and the dumbing down of culture. D. Harlan Wilson's ferocious innovations remind us that the powers of the imagination remain very much alive. In the follow-up to his critically acclaimed fi ction collection, Wilson makes good on what Publishers Weekly called "a lingering threat to do it all again." These stories of ennui, terror and jouissance foreground a raw existential absurdity that siphons energy from the specter of media culture. Dreamlike and satirical, theoretical and obscene, Wilson navigates the riverworlds of the cinematic unconscious, reminding us just how profoundly the real has become the reel.
Genre: General Fiction
