Song for the Unraveling of the World

Posted on 19 October 2018 by Brian Evenson

A newborn s absent face appears on the back of someone else s head, a filmmaker goes to gruesome lengths to achieve the silence he s after for his final scene, and a therapist begins, impossibly, to appear in a troubled patient s room late at night In these stories of doubt, delusion, and paranoia, no belief, no claim to objectivity, is immune to the distortions of human perception Here, self deception is a means of justifying our most inhuman impulses whether we know it or not.
