Clinicality Press will unleash its most ambitious and wide-ranging book to date on January 25th. Featuring a host of exciting international authors, 'Clinical, Brutal... An Anthology of Writing With Guts' packs a mean punch.
(1888PressRelease) January 18, 2010 - Edited by Christopher Nosnibor, author of 'THE PLAGIARIST,' Clinicality Press' first ever release, 'Clinical, Brutal: An Anthology of Writing with Guts' is a collection of works in both poetry and prose that encapsulates the ethos of Clinicality Press and the essence of Clinical Brutality as a mode of writing.
As Christopher writes in his introduction, 'Excessive gore is not a prerequisite, but nor is it frowned upon. It's all about those small, everyday random acts of violence, not all of which are physical or even necessarily entirely tangible, that are common to us all. Those little psychological pains we inflict on one another, the words that resonate long after they've cut deep, the behaviours we exhibit that make others uncomfortable or act in a certain way because we seek to manipulate a situation or an individual, or sometimes simply because we're pissed off or because we can... those are equally brutal, and so often clinical in their calculated execution.' As such, the collection cuts to the core of human existence and combines brutality with beauty, in the form of some of the most devastating and precise, razor-sharp writing you're likely to find.
Blurb: Featuring some of the most exciting up and coming writers, as well as a number of more established cult figures, this collection is a short, sharp shock: clinical, brutal, cutting edge. It's all about those small, everyday random acts of violence, not all of which are physical or even necessarily entirely tangible, that are common to us all, written in blood using direct, precise and powerful language. This is writing for the post-CSI generation. It's not for the faint-hearted.
