Bøger af Tobias Carroll

The stories in Transitory consist of familiar locations turned bizarre and longstanding relationships sacrificed to singular obsessions. Unearthly figures appear on a city street, the crew of a vessel in the North Atlantic see disquieting visions in the sky, and students become fixated on a film with mysterious origins. Tobias Carroll introduces us to a perspective of the world as uncanny as it is erudite, as revealing as it is hidden, where the absurd is often the most preferable of outcomes. Originally published in 2016 by Civil Coping Mechanisms, Transitory is a wry cult classic that recalls the work of Cesar Aira - by way of New Jersey.

A dream novel loosely inspired by Destroyer's 2002 album This Night, In the Sight is a short road novel, a book about DIY brain modification, and an ode to gas station convenience stores.

Reel follows two lives that collide at a Seattle punk show, and the strange consequences that arise. Timon serves as the hyperobservant western outpost of his family's business, verifying artifacts and losing himself in deafening music and isolation. Marianne fears stagnation, and has begun to crave the rootless travel of her youth. After a tense meeting, each proceeds through a series of surreal encounters that deconstruct the lives that they've created, forcing each one into a reckoning with the world around them.
