In The Age of Wire and String, hailed by Robert Coover as “the most audacious literary debut in decades,” Ben Marcus weilds together a new reality from the scrapheap of the past.

Dogs, birds, horses, automobiles, and the weather are some of the recycled elements in Marcus’s first collectionpart fiction, part handbookas familiar objects take on markedly unfamiliar meanings. Gradually, this makeshift world, in its defiance of the laws of physics and language, finds a foundation in its own implausibility, as Marcus produces new feelings and sensationsboth comic and disturbingin the definitive guide to an unpredictable yet exhilarating plane of existence.
