Continuing in the tradition of his Dark Radical Poetics, this sequel to the eschaton sequence sees the author continue a journey begun and assumedly ended with the conclusion of that sequence. Having survived an existential, moral, creative and mental crisis, the author re-examines his position with respect to Schopenhauerian/Nietzschean philosophy. Post-structuralism and suicide, language, communique, self-harm and scarification, remain topics of calmer interest, as the author also attempts to come to terms with an interpretation of Being. Written according to a strict structural schema, in a studiously leaner aphoristic style, this more mature companion piece to the eschaton sequence has, as before, much to offer in the way of incidental wisdom and worldly insights and asides. A deep expressionistic rendering of the course of one man, one book or one locus of a being's thinking, this modest volume will surely entertain, pursuing clarity in beauty, and also intellectually stimulate the reader and edify.
