An experimental novel using the "Random Edge" avant writing technique where a normal body of text is cut off randomly at the edges to generate new fragmented texts, phrases and random letters which devolve almost to the point of concrete poetry. These texts are mixed with experimental comics and cartoons where speech is replaced with syllables and random letter combinations. The book is intended as a "far out" novel in the tradition of sixties counterculture writing as well as James Joyce's Finnegans Wake. The book also includes random photographic elements modelled after W G Sebald. This book will appeal to fans of experimental writing, concrete poetry, avant-garde art and music as well as mini comics and graphic novels. It tries to combine all possible types of experimental works on paper into a single novel. Nte refers to the form as a "glitch novel", and sees it as one possible positive future for avant-garde writing that could arise from the short attention spans generated by current smartphone and internet obsessions.
