Uroboros Blues: A Literary Indisposition

Kenneth Moe

“Boo!” said the author. “Boo! Feed me! Play with me! Look at me!”

A larval philosopher arises from the infertile sands of the desert of possibilities. The philosopher hears ten thousand voices but has no one to play with.

Uroboros Blues is a story about play and literature. Or (like last year’s companion novel, Kandida) perhaps instead an anti-story, about a narrator in the process of waking up from his own fantastic tale.

The book’s underlying and more universal theme is how we as humans invent ourselves though language.
