In this miniature masterpiece, R???bert G???l whom Joshua Cohen has called "a phenomenon" conducts a noble experiment in uncategorizable prose. One long, unbroken paragraph, blending memoir, fiction, and philosophy, Agnomia takes the reader on a transcontinental journey from Lower Manhattan to the Little Quarter of Prague, but most of all it takes the reader on a tour of the writer's mind.

M. Cioran, Agnomia is a book to relish.
