Driven or Forced Onward by or As If by Wind or Water

Fiction. Watt, the eldest son in a rural family of five, has tracked a buck for the past six months. Following the kill, he teaches his kid brother the proper way to dress a deer . . . but the blood ritual has just begun. DRIVEN OR FORCED ONWARD BY OR AS IF BY WIND OR WATER leads us into a feral, yet calculated, labyrinth of consciousness, language and structure. Mysterious forces propel this imploding text, pregnant with meaning, through a cacophony of slaughter, sacrifices, and rites of initiation. Mollere weaves a tapestry of dream and wakefulness in this paean to violence, this mythical search for harmony. "Into a literary firmament where innovation is extremely rare comes this audaciously imagined, artistically executed, remarkable, remarkable fiction"--David Madden, author of The Suicide's Wife. "Mollere writes from the dead zones on the radio dial, where there are no stations"--Chris Pusateri, author of ANON & Berserker Alphabetics.
