Description

Count from Zero to One Hundred by Alan Cunningham is a powerful exploration of sexuality, placelessness and the body. Written as a series of prose fragments, this novella fluctuates between conversation and philosophical reflection in an anxious stuttering staccato. Traces of Beckett and Joyce are felt in this moving meditation on the limits and vulnerability of the body. The narrative moves across Europe and other parts of the world, creating an intriguing intermingling of intensely personal meditations and rigorously analytical observations on intimacy and the body. Language and bodies become entangled, acting on themselves and each other, both as tools of observation and physical transformation. This novella can be read in one breathless session, yet also creates an extended moment of reflection, inviting readers to return to it with questions still lingering.
