O0

Author: Andrew Joron

Publisher: Black Square Editions (2022)

In Andrew Joron’s O0, two novellas brilliantly intersect. Through a unique reworking of various New Wave sci-fi tropes, space-time is transmuted into ‘reshuffled narrative pathways, a collage of illogical facades and stairways that end in mid-air’, leaving readers in the midst of a kaleidoscopic zone of meaning more typical of Borges and Calvino than of Stanislaw Lem or William Gibson.
