With a twisted sense of humor and a heavy dose of fantasy, Katchadjian takes those things that are so common as to be ordinary-bad bosses, crazy significant others, descent into drug use-and sets them in a realm that brings to mind Kafka or Kojève.
Our narrator presents us with a constantly moving array of bizarre, philosophically tinged excitement: a slave rebellion in a strange castle on an unnamed island, an attack of flying worms made of ash which either represents Adam's sin or the Oedipal complex, a feral young woman who lives off the grid on whatever she can scrounge, and a hallucinatory root that throws the narrator into a black void, which he comes to fear he may never escape.

Pablo Katchadjian was born in Buenos Aires in 1977. He is the author of three novels--What To Do, Thanks, and Total Freedom--and a wide array of short stories, poems, and essays. His artistic collaborations include an operatic adaptation of his work alongside the composer Lucas Fagin.
Priscilla Posada is a literary translator from Spanish to English. Her translations include Katchadjian's earlier novel What To Do, published by Dalkey Archive.
