Disintegration in Four Parts

A unique concept that breaks the book into four novellas, each by a different author, but revolving around the same theme. For lovers of Renee Gladman's novels, Resemblance and Disavowal constructs four different worlds. Each section of the book takes on a different style, i.e. satire, historical fiction, epistolary, mystery, giving an eclectic but balanced experience for readers -- the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. The idea of "purity" is more relevant than ever, with both positive and negative connotations, and the four authors consider both.
