Synopses & Reviews
"Tomasulas dissection of post-biological life is about the new interaction of bodies and DNA possibilities. His imagination, satiric edge, and wildly comic sense of things, combined with Stephen Farrells inventive page lay-out, make reading this Opera in Flatlandan unforgettable experience."Marjorie Perloff
More than a novel with 3-color graphics, almost a film, possibly a meditation, certainly "a breathtaking inquiry into the artifacts of the human imagination, VASis sensuous, ferocious, and original"(Rikki Ducornet). When Flatland inhabitants choose to rearrange bodies (animals, plants, even themselves), they enter the double-helix of language and lineagestories of knowledge, power, history, gender, politics, and self-identity.
