Called "the Czech Cioran" by Andrei Codrescu, R bert G l is one of the freshest voices to come from Prague over the past few years. His writing is a mix of philosophy and prose poetry that explores the tenuousness of one's identity and existence. Ironical in his outlook, G l's aim with this volume is to bring the great Romanian philosopher E. M. Cioran into the present in the same way that John Zorn, whose music provided the impetus for writing this book, brought Ornette Coleman into the present. The volume includes aphorisms and longer and shorter "philosophical" fragments. The photographs by Lucia Nimcov were taken specifically for this collection. As aptly described by well-known psychiatrist/publisher Ales Pech, Nimcov 's nude self-portraits act as a "counterpoint to the philosophical denuding that is the book's basic premise."
