Softcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Illustrated by (cover image) Nile Southern & Jeff Holland (illustratore). First Edition. [nice tight copy, just a touch of soiling to the page edges]. Trade PB SIGNED by the author on the title page, with "Santa Monica" written in his hand at the bottom of the same page. "A wild, cybersexual trip through the dark side of America's media-manipulated consciousness. [The author] tracks the bohemian life of his main character, Mal, an alternative rock musician whose strange encounter with the Medicine Woman causes him to hallucinate a fantasy land populated by all of his former lovers." Among the author/artist/theorist's other creative achievements have been the world's first feature-length mobile phone art film ("Immobilité," 2009), the creation of a website of online art, literature and new media theory (the Alt-X Online Network), and an "auto-translation/remix" of a 1914 French novel, "Locus Solus." The introduction to a 2008 interview with Mr. Amerika described his aesthetic thusly: he "remixes personal narrative, philosophical inquiry, spontaneous theories, and cyberpunk fictions that investigate the emergence of digitally constructed identities, fictional personas, narrative mythologies, and collaborative networks." Cover blurbs by Terry Southern and Kathy Acker. Signed by Author.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Many strangenesses may be found in this rare and rarefied collection, rendered in a powerful and careful prose A husband and wife awaken after murdering each other to discover that they are floating in space, tethered to each other by a rope. The rope, "a gross, insensitive affair," has become their only means of communication, since they have been transformed into "grey, burnt-out lumps of flesh." They tell stories to each other, to try to seduce each other, and drive each other mad by tugging on the rope in a system of signs which they have learned after eons in their hell. This metaphor for the insufficiency and wonder of human discourse gives the title to this collection of short fictions, Rope Dances. All these fictions are about failure, misapprehension, defeat, loss, guilt and breakdown, told with a delightful irony and sense of humor. In one, the myth of King Kong is dismembered by an author who finds his subject too large for his talent. In another, a fat man hears the jealous hallucinations of his friend in disbelief, only to discover that his friend has told the truth with a vengeance. An ambassador to "Imperial Place" finds a country on the verge of collapse, overrun by wild children. "The Misogynist" is an author, tired of his wife, who writes a strange story about a machismo-talking cock and its meek owner, a story which begins a strange itching in his on crotch, the occasion for another Rope Dance. These and other strangenesses may be found in this rare and rarefied collection, rendered in a powerful and careful prose.
