From the Publisher
Every Day in the Morning (slow) is a work that
looks and reads like no other.
Sam, a composer, reflects on his floundering career, life with his
lover and tensions with his father. Some thoughts, like facial hair
and breakfast, are mundane; others, like love, money and war, are
often overwhelming. At turns laughable and vain, at others, tender
and considered, Sam's feelings and ideas turn continuously. The
result is an oddly lyrical streamof- consciousness that's as
conversational as its appearance is unconventional.
Spare text and the generous white space invite a distinct
interaction with the story, one where every detail, every placement
and every repetition influences meaning. The lack of punctuation
allows the reader the freedom to internalize this exquisitely
crafted work and understand the protagonist's state of mind.
The exceptional style of Every Day in the Morning
(slow) amounts to a kind of thinging, somewhere
between singing and thinking, thing and thought, utter brilliance
and complete crap. A novella with long poem features, slow breaks
the rules of both genres, while at the same time offering an
addictive and compulsive flow that may make it the fastest book you
will ever (want to) read.
