by Jace Brittain (Author)

Schism Press presents Sorcererer, a novel by Jace Brittain.

"O! I loved this feverish yarn set in the cartilaginous environs of the ear and/or the mucilaginous environs of the Menlo Sanitorium, where patient Felix has collapsed on the footpath, attended by a clutch of snails. Part speculative Walser biography, part fan-fic of the Schumann-Brahms-Schumann love triangle, part dime-store mystery about a lost volume in a spooky library, part late-nite documentary on the lives of snails, this batty, brainy book has something for everyone."
  • Joyelle McSweeney, author of Toxicon and Arachne

"Sharp, grimly comic, vertiginous, extraordinary in its myriad misbehavings, Jace Brittain's Sorcererer celebrates the illegibility of the body, the mind, and language within a librarial architectonics designed by Borges and described by Beckett to Leslie Scalapino on a stroll through Heraclitus's garden, or, as one of its protagonists proclaims: 'stay vim stay vigor.' Brittain's un-novel announces the arrival of an important new voice in the post-genre wilderness."
  • Lance Olsen, author of My Red Heaven and Skin Elegies

"Jace Brittain's thickly spare, indelibly sticky prose spirals at the "final edge of heliotropic civilization," gooping the horizon line between history and illusion. All across Sorcererer's pages, the ailing body of western knowledge coughs up its secrets and myths, its fatal false promises. This is an unbecoming book, a book of slime-enciphered messages, language fluxing from the sentences' cracked shells. Read Sorcererer with the slowness of snails, with your feelers, backwards and forwards. Leave your own oozy traces on the patterns you find."
  • Joanna Ruocco, author of Dan and Field Glass

"Sorcererer collects a network of interconnected prose poems (a system of constant meaning / messages of constant noise) into a singular housing. At first this might appear as a means to ease the reader's transition from one segment to the next, but in reality it lures them into an occulted maze of death--rendered animate by plosive displays and an arcane lexicon.
