In The Flame Alphabet, language is toxic to everyone but children. For adults this means no speaking, no reading, no writing, no listening - at least not without severe allergic reaction, depression or crippling pain. In telling the story, Sam, a man whose family has come apart, is literally dying a slow death. It’s poisoning him to write the words that we read. The story is set in our time, but that time has been just slightly broken open to accommodate a world where children have all of the power and where adults must shield themselves from language in any way that they can. Marcus’s narrative touches on a wide range of interests and issues, including a speculative conception of allergy science, rogue tactics of self-improvement, the trauma that surrounds aphasia, confidence games between excessively powerful children, the future of writing as a technology and cruelty within families. The novel is part satire and lament, dystopian fantasy and family tragedy.

Thanks so much santobelletrist for all your uploads. Do you have Denis Johnson’s Angels?
December 28th, 2024
Funny you mention him, I was just diving into Denis Johnson’s books beyond Jesus’ Son. However, the audio for Angels is evading me. The only listing I see is on a Preloaded player, and it’s not available at that.

It used to be available on Audible but not anymore. Many thanks for trying. What about Chelsea Girls by Eileen Myles?
December 29th, 2024
I did notice Audible’s name was attached to it. Shame when they lose a title and there is no alternative, hence why this site is important.
Posted up the one Eileen Myles I had (Inferno). I have a source for the others, but it may take a few days.

Great, thanks. Inferno is wonderful!
