When you open your eyes things already seem to be happening without you.ÿYou don't know who you are and you don't remember where you've been.ÿYou know the world has changed, that a catastrophe has destroyed what used to exist before, but you can't remember exactly what did exist before. And you're paralyzed from the waist down apparently, but you don't remember that either.

A man claiming to be your friend tells you your services are required. Something crucial has been stolen, but what he tells you about it doesn't quite add up.ÿYou've got to get it back or something bad is going to happen. And you've got to get it back fast, so they can freeze you again before your own time runs out.

Before you know it, you're being carried through a ruined landscape on the backs of two men in hazard suits who don't seem anything like you at all, heading toward something you don't understand that may well end up being the death of you.

Welcome to the life of Josef Horkai..

Industry Reviews
""Immobility"'s bleak landscape and doubting yet relentless protagonist display Brian Evenson, one of our best and bravest novelists, at his most probing and mordant. The book might almost be the product of a collaboration between the younger Samuel Beckett and the mid-career Buster Keaton. No one else in America is writing like this, and no one but he possesses Evenson's ravishing, diamond-like focus."--Peter Straub, "New York Times" bestselling author of "A Dark Matter" "Evenson is stunning, a postapocalyptic Dashiell Hammett, in this blistering tale. I read "Immobility" from cover to cover without stirring from my chair, and I imagine most readers will share that fate."--Jesse Ball, Plimpton Prize-winning author of "The Curfew" "Brian Evenson is one of the treasures of American story writing." --Jonathan Lethem, "New York Times "bestselling author of "Chronic City""There is not a more intense, prolific or apocalyptic writer of fiction in America than Brian Evenson."--George Saunders, "New York Times "bestselling author of "The Braindead Megaphone ""Brian Evenson is one of the most distinguished, probing, and courageous writers of his generation."--Bradford Morrow, O. Henry Prize-winning author of "Diviner's Tale"
