Inhaltsangabe
Cultural Writing. Philosophy and Religion. Poetry. Christopher Spranger describes THE COMEDY OF AGONY: A BOOK OF POISONOUS CONTEMPLATIONS as an attempt to rewrite Dante's Divine Comedy while leaving out the word "God." The result is a series of short, aphorism-like pieces that become as humorous as they are dismal. "A life without suffering belongs to the same order of ideas as a soup without broth.We are accustomed to talk about catastrophe as if it were an unwelcome guest and not a secretly wished-for deliverance from the tedium of life." Spranger's first book, THE EFFORT TO FALL, is also available from SPD.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor
Christopher Spranger, the acclaimed author of The Effort to Fall (Green Integer, 1998), writes: I was born March 29th, 1971, in Chicago, Illinois, and have been conspicuous ever since for my total failure to be a functioning part of the human species. I have not so much moved through life as slipped by alongside of it, like a fugitive. To ignore every goal reverenced by man: such has been my modus vivendi. I have no affiliations, no profession; there are no titles attached to my name; and I would even go so far as to say, at the risk of sounding excessive, that I am too unsynchronized with the material realm to have a terrestrial career. Who knows if at some time in the future my fleeting appearance upon the stage of this world might not be found classified among the forms of mirage?
