No One Told Me I Was Going to Disappear: A Novel

FULL COLOR EDITION
"J.A. Tyler and John Dermot Woods have made an object as beautiful as a paper ship." - Luca Dipierro, author of Biscotti Neri and Das Ding

"Tyler and Woods volley language and image to construct a new and bracing presentation of identity as at once smeared across a centerless space and anchored by the weight of a single human heart." - Evan Lavender-Smith, author of Avatar

"The incantatory, hypnotic examinations of 'me and you and how we are connected' unfold along an edge where Martin Buber meets André Breton." - Jon Cotner & Andy Fitch, authors of Ten Walks/Two Talks

In this startling collaborative novel, Tyler and Woods tell a story that explores the closely linked experiences of communion and suffocation, creating their narrator's world by setting a beat with mesmerizing chapters of rhythmic prose exploded by frantic full-color illustrations. This book could as easily be described as a horror novel as a love story. The authors' experimental techniques come together in a book that tells the most classic tale of passion and loss.
