From Elytron Frass, the acclaimed author of Liber Exuvia and Vitiators, comes an ergodic occult epic that Justin Isis calls "a typographic-pictorial provocation" and "an unclassifiable novelistic artifact [that] updates classic esoterica with an appropriate level of technical frenzy for our current epoch."When a married couple -- devotees of a mysterious Church -- consent to a religious rite combining science and faith, an ischemic event sets in motion events with profound implications.Now, deep in the heart of a research institute, Subject L is being prepped for a novel separation surgery from Subject R, her conjoined brother, when it is discovered that the presence of an additional corpus collosum renders them capable of processing concurrent and contrary pieces of information while each of their physical bodies can perform contemporaneous and ambidextrous tasks. They are given an advanced handwriting assignment, in which they choose to compose an original story, each body's dominant hand taking on a key role to complete each other's words and sentences in real time.The level of synchronicity and simultaneity which Subjects L and R demonstrate throughout this assignment give strong indication to either a shared or singular consciousness.And it has something it wants to say."Five concurrent narratives blossom together across [Moieties]," says Logan Berry, "like a necrotic fairytale garden whose evil flowers keep and melt and meld together, in an orgiastic rite of spring. With shamanic abandon, Frass demonstrates that, in the digital era, novels need not revel in their obsolescence; instead, they can molt into something multiplicitous, bold, and new. Moieties is a relentless, visionary work that doesn't ask for a skim; it demands your attention. And, once it has you gripped, it won't be read; it will be activated."
