One Sleeve By Carr, Richard
2011 | 60 Pages | ISBN: 0982010591 | PDF | 1 MB
As visceral as cerebral, Carr's narrator picks scabs off his philosophical wounds while his alter ego, One Sleeve, attempts to make sense of a fractured universe. The narrator seems innocent enough, but grows in power with each philosophical counterpoint to One Sleeve's nihilistic vision. Though the character One Sleeve seems implacable at first, his frailty gradually becomes apparent. "Irony is the new certainty," declares Carr's ambivalent narrator, caught between the physical sensations and philosophical problems of this world and the next. - David Hulm, Kirkwood Community College, Iowa City
