Description
Book SynopsisOn Wing, the first published work of fiction by the Slovak poet-philosopher Robert Gal, is a constellation of hundreds of aphorisms, dreams, anecdotes, and inquiries, all written in a restless, searching, "improvisational" prose whose techniques reflect those of Bernhard, Nietzsche, and Kierkegaard, not to mention the saxophonist and composer John Zorn, who makes a brief cameo as a character.
Trade Review"The Czech Cioran..." - Andrei Codrescu
"Gál's aphorisms combine incisive question-raising and gently troubling images involving Time, God... and existential self-awareness." -
Antioch Review "Gál is a phenomenon unto himself: a purveyor of neurotic philosophy encapsulated in elliptical portents and epifragmentals, the content of which is at all odds with their length." - Joshua Cohen
