Fiction. PRISM AND GRADED MONOTONY is rope for your neck, singular, a plurality of threads. Death and survival are the sum; myriad are the weird parts that compose it. Black Death, accident-framed death, death as commonplace, death in the cycle of life, survival against death, survival through death-these modes are all identified within the study of life that is Prism. It is an existential philosophy, a companion piece to the violent commentary of Nietzsche.
