First edition, Hardcover, Limited, New sans dust jacket as issued,
60 pp.
This edition unnumbered. “Damian Murphy is one of the most thought-provoking and remarkable authors in current literature. His stories, set in a no man's land between Desire, Ecstasy, Surrealism and Dystopian bureaucracy, follow the path established by authors such as Alain Robbe-Grillet and Julien Gracq. In A Token Derangement of Senses, the reader (has), as usual in the case of Damian Murphy (the opportunity to view), the sophisticated strangeness evoked by twilight worlds, in which the usual reality of everyday life is shattered in its essence. In addition to Murphy's short story, this new book will feature a kind of afterword in a narrative format — the short story "Wittgenstein", by Alcebiades Diniz Miguel: a meditation turned into a plot in which war and destruction emerge as language puzzles.” #73292
