Beschreibung
Electricity Slides is an experimental work, written in the Dadaist "cut-up" style of the 1950s. Begun as a series of live performance art monologues, Electricity Slides alternates between a third-person narrative and a first-person narrative of the nameless protagonist, a troubled and traumatized figure who speaks in a lyrical, poem/prose manner, in possession of a stolen, mind-altering substance through a connection with an equally nameless, equally mysterious woman. The reader is taken with the characters through a psychotropic journey, like a dream, where vignettes are connected only slightly, as the characters find themselves faced with the authoritarian and indoctrinating world of "The Machine," where mind manipulation and thought programming are paramount, while individuality is punished with death. Electricity Slides is an avantgarde experiment into a mind where everything is at once concrete and intangible, real and fantasy, where once you believe you understand what's going on, you suddenly realize that you don't.
