Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Called "the Czech Cioran" by Andrei Codrescu, Robert Gal is one of the freshest voices to come from Prague over the past few years. His writing is a mix of philosophy and prose poetry that explores the tenuousness of one's identity and existence. Ironical in his outlook, Gal's aim with this volume is to bring the great Romanian philosopher E. M. Cioran into the present in the same way that John Zorn, whose music provided the impetus for writing this book, brought Ornette Coleman into the present. The volume includes aphorisms and longer and shorter "philosophical" fragments. The photographs by Lucia Nimcova were taken specifically for this collection. As aptly described by well-known psychiatrist/publisher Ales Pech, Nimcova's nude self-portraits act as a "counterpoint to the philosophical denuding that is the book's basic premise." Poetry.

Trade Paperback. Condition: New. New! 'Heralded by Joshua Cohen as "The Aphorism Master," Róbert Gál revives the forgotten art of the philo-poetic line with vicious wit and tremendous dexterity. Naked Thoughts-his fourth book to be translated into English-is at once incendiary and revelatory, surprising and instinctual, defiant and delicate, and dares to pursue and give expression to those fugitive inspirations of the mind whose very beauty relies on their performance of contention with the structures of meaning by which they are snared and signified. Weighing the balance between the intensity of emotion and patient contemplation, Naked Thoughts is a book that will satisfy voyeurs and arsonists. With artwork by Viktor Kopasz.' ~ Publisher. …
