Item description from seller

Neuware - A fragmentary catalogue of poetic derangements that reveals the ways in which mania communicates with an extreme will to annihilationWhat kind of circumstances provoke an obsessive focus on the most minute object or activity And what causes such mania toblossom into the lethal conviction that everything must be annihilated There is no turning away from the imperative to study this riddle in all its mystifying complexity and its disturbing contemporary resonanceto trace the obscure passage between a lone state of delirium and the will to world-erasure.A fragmentary catalogue of the thousand-and-one varieties of manic disposition (augomania, dromomania, catoptromania, colossomania),Omnicideenters the chaotic imaginations of the most significant poetic talents of the Middle East in order to instigate a new discourse on obsession, entrancement, excess, and delirium. Placing these voices into direct conversation, Jason Bahbak Mohaghegh excavates an elaborate network of subterranean ideas and interpretive chambers, byways, and burrows by which mania communicates with fatality. Like secret passages leading from one of the multitudinous details of a bustling Persian miniature to the blank burning immanence of the desert, each is a contorted yet effective channel connecting some attractive universe (of adoration, worship, or astonishment) to the instinct for all-engulfing oblivion (through hatred, envy, indifference, rage, or forgetting).A captivating fractal ofconceptual prisms in half-storytelling, half-theoretical prose, a rhythmic, poetic, insidious work that commands submission, Omnicideabsorbs the reader into unfamiliar and estranging landscapes whose everysubtle euphoricaspectthreatens to become an irresistible invitation to the end of all things.
