Assymmetries Author: Matthew Holt

ISBN: 9781921450389 Format: Paperback Number Of Pages: 210 Published: 1 December 2011 Country of Publication: AU Dimensions (cm): 21.0 x 14.8 Description: Asymmetries is a collection of short stories and flash fiction which pieces together indistinct impressions and allusions to gradually create a sense of continuity. Though formal experimentation these mysterious and often humorous compositions emulate contemporary modes of perception - the experience of having no fixed point of view, of being immersed in the fleeting, the aleatory and the fragmentary. In such a state of affairs, we are at once observing and being observed, inside and outside, the centre and the periphery.

The book can be placed in the tradition of surreal, tragic-comic modernism, evoking the milieu of Kafka, Beckett, Borges, Bernhard, and Walser. Asymmetries attempts to find a new objectivity in which the forms of contemporary perception are married to literary technique.

"An invigorating tumbler of dark matter which should be swallowed whole, in a single draught." - Thomas Crosse
