On Wing [Paperback]

On Wing, the first published work of fiction by the Slovak poet-philosopher Robert Gal, is a constellation of hundreds of aphorisms, dreams, anecdotes, and inquiries, all written in a restless, searching, improvisational prose whose techniques reflect those of Bernhard, Nietzsche, and Kierkegaard, not to mention the saxophonist and composer John Zorn, who makes a brief cameo as a character. The Czech Cioran... - Andrei Codrescu

G??l's aphorisms combine incisive question-raising and gently troubling images involving Time, God... and existential self-awareness. -Antioch Review

G??l is a phenomenon unto himself: a purveyor of neurotic philosophy encapsulated in elliptical portents and epifragmentals, the content of which is at all odds with their length. - Joshua Cohen
