Starlight in Two Million: A Neo-Scientific Novella by Amy Catanzano

Starlight in Two Million: A Neo-Scientific Novella by Amy Catanzano

Fiction. Poetry. Winner of the 2012 Noemi Press Book Award for Fiction. Amy Catanzano's 'neo-scientific' novella is a metafictional tour de force: a tour of the forces that compose the cosmos, a recomposition of the music of the spheres. Here, narrative flow becomes a kind of quantum fluid, bifurcating into character systems and poetry. Tinctures of the inhuman spread through this writing, causing language to convulse in forms as vivid and varied as the multiverse itself. Alternately explosive and meditative, at once lyrical and conceptual, Catanzano's work renews the pataphysical claim of literature on science. In this work, American literature has found its own Jarry.--Andrew Joron

Amy Catanzano's writing is a vector, releasing sparks. To read her work is to emit/receive--something. From a distant yet intimate point. What will happen next? Where will you go? This novella is a guide-book to a future that has not arrived yet. To 'predicate.' To 'devolve.' To 'shimmer.' In a book that is a like a nerve.--Bhanu Kapil
