Venus In Chains
When the city burns, where do you run, or perhaps, to whom?
C notices everything. The netting that carves the water into discrete little squares. The pendant lamp hanging a fraction lower than the one beside it. The cloud from a stranger's vape that never actually comes. It is a condition rather than a gift, and it has left him digging through the sod and the soil for something he cannot bear to look at directly.
Alexander's debut novel, Venus In Chains is a dream vision in the tradition of Dante, built from Milton, Dostoevsky, Camus, and pop songs. It asks what a person should be willing to surrender in order to stop wanting more.
