by Australian author Richard James Allen

... is the story of an astronaut who launched himself into a black hole. The recovered fragments of his mind have been organized alphabetically into a witty, whimsical, surprisingly touching and laugh-out-loud funny dictionary of a floating mind.

"an accumulation of broken meanings
and definitions, moments of insight,
panic, wisdom and longing ... a fierce
and luminous examination of identity
in a floating and disintegrated world ...
an astonishing lexicon … an edgy read ...
- open both to pleasure and surrender."
