Commentary Supposing Books Dermaphoria

Bailed out of jail and holed up in a low-rent motel, amnesiac Eric Ashworth's only memory is a woman's name: Desiree. With steadily increasing doses of a strange new hallucinogen, Eric finds that the drug allows him to reassemble his past in broken fragments. But as he begins to lose touch with the present, his distinction between truth and fantasy begins to crumble, creating a world where divisions between love and loss, violence and tenderness, and fact and fiction are less discernible than they ought to be.

Strange-weirdness, my favorite cocktail, but this one didn't have enough punch even with it's slim length. The novel starts out promising but than quickly becomes repetitive. I started out thinking I would love this novel, it has paranoia, drugs, colorful characters, and is written beautifully, but as soon as I hit the mid-way point I felt detached. I respected what this novel was trying to accomplish more than I enjoyed it.

Ok, where do i start? Well, this story feels upside down. The writing is crazy like the main character. It feels like a movie more than a novel, the scenes are described vividly. The craziness in the novel comes from Eric the main character, who starts the story with memory loss, and in trial for creating drugs. He seemed to be a very good chemist for his drugs left the city needing more. His memory loss came from being brain dead for eight minutes after overdosing which rendered him in the

Read this book twice now. Clevenger has, with two slim books, become my favorite author, most enjoyable, creative, researched. No negatives, this book'll knock you on your ass.

A cinematic, psychedelic, drug explosion left in words on a page. I'm not saying it worked entirely, because, for me (and it's ALWAYS subjective), it didn't. But throughout this tale of a hapless, hopeless narcotics manufacturer/chemistry genius with amnesia (wrap your brain 'round that) searching for his lost (in every possible way) love and memories, there's plenty of chunky language and lyrical prose to cling to. It does (for me) overcook and overdo it for a good number of pages, but there's

I was going to start this review by comparing Clevenger's writing to that of Chuck Palahniuk and Will Christopher Baer. He's got the pace and acerbic plot-mind of one and the visceral, dizzying prose of the other. Then I flipped to the acknowledgements, and there, on the second paragraph, Clevenger thanks them both. "Well, no wonder," I thought. Fans of either (or both) Palahniuk and Baer are bound to love "Dermaphoria."Clevenger starts with a classic (and almost trite) premise: a man wakes up

(The much longer full review can be found at the Chicago Center for Literature and Photography [cclapcenter.com:].)Okay, I confess: that of all the different types of underground artists out there, I have a particular affinity for the weird quiet ones on the edge of every scene, who frequently engage in cutting-edge experiments just for the sake of engaging in them. For example, when I was involved with the performance-poetry community of the 1990s, I tended to spend a lot of time with the
