The Noracle

From the incomparable literary mind of Nora Chassler ('the best writer you've never heard of' - Ronan Hession) comes The Noracle, a kaleidoscopic reimagining of the I Ching. Styled in a matrix-like structure, these multi-part meditations provide a fresh take on the author's great subject - a childhood amongst the grim vibrancy of '80s and '90s New York City - examining the formation of memory, creativity and identity, amid the chaos of self-discovery. Both a love letter to the written word and a cautionary tale of its intoxicating grip, these are stories told with the inventive energy of concrete poetry and the tender wisdom of someone who has lived - and nearly lost themself to - the power of words.
