Continuing in the tradition of his Dark Radical Poetics, this sequel to the eschaton sequence sees the author continue a journey begun and assumedly ended with the conclusion of that sequence. Having survived an existential, moral, creative and mental crisis, the author re-examines his position with respect to Schopenhauerian/Nietzschean philosophy. Post-structuralism and suicide, language, communique, self-harm and scarification, remain topics of calmer interest, as the author also attempts to come to terms with an interpretation of Being. Written according to a strict structural schema, in a studiously leaner aphoristic style, this more mature companion piece to the eschaton sequence has, as before, much to offer in the way of incidental wisdom and worldly insights and asides. A deep expressionistic rendering of the course of one man, one book or one locus of a being's thinking, this modest volume will surely entertain, pursuing clarity in beauty, and also intellectually stimulate the reader and edify.

Mutation Z: Desperate Measures is the sixth and final book in the Mutation Z series. “I almost didn’t want to start this one as it’s the final book and I didn’t want it to end. / I wondered who would survive, if they’d find a cure, whether the world could be saved. I didn’t have a clue how all of my questions would be answered. / The author did a bang up job of doing just that.” – Laura, FUONLYKNEW Blog “Marilyn Peake wraps up this novella series, exposing all the conspiracies and corruption, the perverted reasons for setting the zombies loose, and my juices were flowing as they pissed me off and sickened me beyond words, but left me with the faith that a…few good men/women can make all the difference in the world.” – Sherry Fundin, Blogger and Reviewer

One of The Atlantic's Great American Novels One of the New York Times' 25 Most Significant New York City Novels From the Last 100 Years "A towering landmark of postwar Realism…A sustained work of prose so lucid and fine it seems less written than carved." —David Foster Wallace Otto and Sophie Bentwood live in a changing neighborhood in Brooklyn. Their stainless-steel kitchen is newly installed, and their Mercedes is parked curbside. After Sophie is bitten on the hand while trying to feed a stray, perhaps rabies-infected cat, a series of small and ominous disasters begin to plague the Bentwoods' lives, revealing the fault lines and fractures in a marriage—and a society—wrenching itself apart. First published in 1970 to wide acclaim, Desperate Characters stands as one of the most dazzling and rigorous examples of the storyteller's craft in postwar American literature — a novel that, according to Irving Howe, ranks with "Billy Budd, The Great Gatsby, Miss Lonelyhearts, and Seize the Day."
