El Espectáculo del Vacío
The Spanish translation of The Spectacle of the Void is now available from Materia Oscura Editorial. The life of this book continues to amaze me. When I first wrote it, I never expected more than a handful of people would read it, and now it seems like a lot of readers find my fiction through my nonfiction. You just never know. I’m super grateful for everyone involved, Gary J. Shipley most of all.

"Chris Kelso is one of these authors that people in the know share in the dark alleys of literature, nodding as they mention the titles of his books. It is an author, like me, invisible in full mainstream daylight, but this is where his strength lies:"

“There is, in every event, whether lived or told, always a hole or a gap, often more than one. If we allow ourselves to get caught in it, we find it opening onto a void that, once we have slipped into it, we can never escape.”

“Memories die as soon as they are plucked from their surroundings, they burst, lose color, lose suppleness, stiffen like corpses. All that remains are shells with translucent edges. Half-erased brain platelets are a slippery terrain, deceptive. One’s mental archive is locked, it languishes in the dark. The past is riddled with holes, souvenirs can’t help here. Everything must be thrown away. Everything. And perhaps everyone as well.”
― Belladonna

“I began to write fiction on the assumption that the true enemies of the novel were plot, character, setting and theme, and having once abandoned these familiar ways of thinking about fiction, totality of vision or structure was really all that remained.”
