The Age of Wire and String
A potential cult classic - the Finnegans Wake of the 1990s. A bulletin from a parallel universe where the relations between words and things are utterly changed. Bewitchingly original, genuinely refreshing, The Age of Wire and String takes all of the linguistic value systems on which our great literature is based, chews them up and spits them out. At once artificial, bizarre and bewildering, this is a Finnegans Wake, a Tristram Shandy for the end of the millennium.
