AGIDA 

upon dirty  art

 

 

***** "postmodernist fiction, transgressive, disconcerting, confusing, surreal, philosophically provoking." 

 

What's your life going to be, when you first realize that you is not you at all. That your inner voice is not yourself. Agida is a girl. And she has a problem: she can no longer feel the touch. A disenchanted young painter uses her and her body to make art out of real pulsating flesh. Slowly losing her ability to perceive the world around her, while people she comes across with are just another part of the problem, she struggles to understand what her life is all about. Free will against fate, the dire beauty of what is necessary, the endless pursuit of the meaning of life trough art and sex and human nature. 

 

****** "a though provoking, deep thinking work of literature [...] to produce this offbeat, yet though provoking work of art in words!" 

 

****** "I cannot remember reading a book quite like this one, and I mean that in the most fantastic way possible [...] It's like a mystery to be solved, a puzzle to be completed, a dream during which you only hope to finally be able to understand the meaning." 

 

***** "The book is filled with gorgeous quotes [...] The language is so pretty and precise, yet uniquely creates a tense and mysterious story that's both easy to read yet very deep and meaningful." 

 

***** "It is written in a third person/ second person narrative which could throw off more traditional readers but I eat Post Modernism for breakfast so this definitely worked well for me. It was disconcerting, confusing and evocative in all the right ways. If you like your work dreamy and surreal then this book is for you." 

 

***** "I'm delighted at the writing ability of Gian Andrea. He portrays his ideas in a manner way beyond his years and takes the reader on a journey of knowledge where you are left feeling enlightened"

 

***** "Deeply philosophical novel offering an insight into the skin where senses are distant"
