Published by acclaimed literary house Spuyten Duyvil, Mor’s novel, the first in a trilogy, is as entrancing as it is challenging. ARC: Cleavage of Ghosts* is now available in bookstores. Juxtaposing elements of modern life with Kabbalistic imagery and comprised of prose that throbs with sensuosity, Cleavage of Ghosts indoctrinates the reader into a world where life’s pleasures become horrors and basic truths become uncertainties. The protagonist is one Adam Aiula, nicknamed Stone. After he is rejected by his lover (whom he refers to as Phoenix) and heightens his contact with the primordial and spiritually enlightened facets of himself, Adam/Stone is cast into a world of strip tease joints and transvestite bars, Turkish baths, and fate-deciding games of poker. Lurking throughout ARC are the ghosts of Joyce & Kafka; the book is Joycean in its love of language and intense usage of stream of consciousness, but Kafkaesque in its vision of a world turned inside-out. Filled with language that twists and turns, and imagery that haunts and horrifies, Cleavage of Ghosts is an intellectual challenge toward a sense of “what is.” Author Mor has had stories and poetry published in a variety of literary publications. His video “Exile,” based on his story “Listen Baby/I’m hot stuff/I could be/a star,” was adapted under a grant from NY’s The Kitchen, and also screened at The New York International Independent Film & Video Festival and The Knitting Factory.
