Eat the Word gnaws though the forgotten industrial wastelands of the modern psyche. Each of these short fictional vignettes, deeply visual and evocative in style, are pervaded by a probing intellect that draws on a rich literary palette stretching from Kafka to JG Ballard, from Nietzsche to radical contemporary theorists like Deleuze and Guattari. Robert Lort presents us with a lavish literary buffet, that confronts and beguiles us on every page.
