Description - Black River by Justin Clemens

"Black River" is the autobiography of a nonexistent personage. Drawing on literary techniques developed by Beckett, Burroughs and Borges, "Black River" plunges into a violent and surreal world from which the last traces of the gods have vanished. The reader will encounter such creatures as mouthers, pokers, the sucking lady, white curls, the loved one, the magistrate, and the ambassador, presented in spare, relentless prose. The text by Justin Clemens is supplemented with Helen Johnson's extraordinary collages. "Black River" is a work of hallucinatory materialism.
