"If you ever wished that you could know how it feels to be a human sacrifice, then this is the book for you! This novella has a surreal plot and a heavy-hitting prose style to back it up. My one nitpick would be that the middle section gets slightly r"

"A framed Chinese folk tale soaked in blood ritual, Ashless Sacrifice creeps forward with quickening dread, the sacred and the profane mingling as the narrator dreams a dark story of ancestral tragedy. Residents of a village beset by drought offer a c"

"An epic poem about a mad captain seeking immortality at the frozen end of the earth. Between scenes of adventure we explore the adventurers' back stories: grim celebrations of language and madness. The prose is sometimes dense and tangled, sparkling "

| A marvelous little journey, completely unlike anything I’ve read before. I really liked the diversity of chapters, as well. There are ones told from a bird’s perspective, a river’s, a ghost’s, and so on… A kind of gentle strangeness lingers in the mi ...more | |

“Through his pierced brain the breezes sang Will you drop dead you pig of a sell-out But from the sky as black as the forehead of his fathers no crayfish came to the aid of his lobsters”

“The street, which I believed could offer my life its surprising detours, the street with its uneasiness and its glances, was my true element; there as nowhere else I caught the breath of the possible.”

“Gacela of Unexpected Love"
No one understood the perfume
of the shadow magnolia of your belly.
No one knew you crushed completely
a humming-bird of love between your teeth.
There slept a thousand little persian horses
in the moonlight plaza of your forehead,
while, for four nights, I embraced there
your waist, the enemy of snowfall.
Between the plaster and the jasmines,
your gaze was a pale branch, seeding.
I tried to give you, in my breastbone,
the ivory letters that say ever.
Ever, ever: garden of my torture,
your body, flies from me forever,
the blood of your veins is in my mouth now,
already light-free for my death.”
― Collected Poems
