Brief Alphabet of Torture

Offers an unflinching and riveting meditation on the pain that attends every facet of existence - love and sacrifice and intimacy and beauty - a biography of torture. Like all of Vi Khi Nao's acclaimed and award-winning work, A Brief Alphabet of Torture bleeds across many modes and genres - poetry, essay, fiction, drama - and itself almost constitutes a novel of a different kind.

Ofera o meditatie neclintita si captivanta asupra durerii care insoteste fiecare fateta a existentei - dragoste si sacrificiu si intimitate si frumusete - o biografie a torturii. La fel ca toate lucrarile apreciate si premiate ale lui Vi Khi Nao, A Brief Alphabet of Torture sangereaza in mai multe moduri si genuri - poezie, eseu, fictiune, drama - si ea insasi constituie aproape un roman de alt tip.
