Portions of this page Copyright 1995 - 2008 Muze Inc. All rights reserved.
| Synopsis | In this comic surrealist novel, a well-known Toronto architect plots to murder his biographer, discovers the submerged city of Gomorrah, and must face the consequences of his treatment of a street waif who seeks his protection.
| | Size | | Length: | 232 pages | | Height: | 7.8 in. | | Width: | 5.5 in. | | Thickness: | 1.0 in. | | Weight: | 11.2 oz. |
| | Publisher's Note | Delirium is an interactive work of hypertext fiction -- the first ever published on the world wide web. Novelist Douglas Cooper collaborated with digital artist and typographer Barry Deck in its unique construction which allows the reader to wander between four distinct characters and to any chapter in and out of "order." The story focuses on an architect and his biographer.
When the elderly Ariel Price, world-famous architect, receives a letter from a would-be biographer announcing his intention to move forward without Price's approval or authorization, he decides that there is only one response. The biographer will have to die. As Price's sinister past is revealed, other seemingly unrelated characters are introduced: Evelyn, the young victim of Price's erotic obsession; his crippled, mysterious apprentice, Cosimo; the performance artist Scilla, who has claimed one of Price's creations - an underground mall - as her own; and of course Theseus Crouch, the would-be biographer who threatens Price's precious reputation. These lives converge in a surreal, labyrinthine narrative, building up to the novel's climax: the dance of death between the man who has destroyed the public space - the modern architect - and the man who has destroyed the private - the invasive biographer.
| | Industry reviews | "Even the most cartoonish of the characters in 'Delirium' breathe, and their vitality is what makes the book such a page turner. Their stories wind through a convoluted, allusive narrative that's constantly pausing for reflections on architectural history, on urban planning, on the misuses of biography. This is an author who loves to show off, and his audacity is never less than entertaining."
New York Times Book Review - Craig Seligman (03/15/1998)
"The compromising of visionary ideals by contact with sublunary lust and greed is clearly a central theme in a baffling, fascinating fiction that seems part of a multivolume work still in progress."
