A mind-bending concept realized with brushstrokes psychedelic and deft on a big, Stapledonian canvas.
Richard Calder, author of Dead Girls, Dead Boys, Dead Things
Transdimensional Transgender Transubstantiation is like looking up into a dimness while spinning downward, all the light shedding. edward j rathke is headlong into these words, and to be subsumed by them is a rich experience.
J. A. Tyler, author of Colony Collapse
As the first mid-century programmers observed, DNA is just code in chemical form. edward j rathke’s new prose work partakes of this insight, embodied as a transpersonal, transtemporal, trans-species ‘memoir’ of life at its most cellular, star-flung, Big-Bang-authored. Through the allegory of language as a constantly reconfiguring, neologizing, resourceful colony of syllables, he proposes the human as a flexible unit of trans-human, transplanetary flux. This work is both linguistically intense and shamanically broad: mythological, uterine, starry and word-struck. It speaks of the end of the world and the beginning in one infant breath.
