{"product_id":"9781566894050","title":"The Hope of Floating Has Carried Us This Far","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen love, lust, and longing, have all but killed you, and Newtonian physics has become too painfully restrictive, is it possible to find freedom in another dimension? Have you lost the will to live, or the will to live as human? Castaways in unmapped terrain, the characters in \u003ci\u003eThe Hope of Floating Has Carried Us This Far\u003c\/i\u003e burrow underground in tunnels made by ancient nautiluses. They lay eggs by the seashore, and greet the sailors who come to carry those eggs away. And each by each, they choose to live—but to surrender their human forms. From within their peculiar neither-here-nor-there-doms, they learn to live in unbounded states, with edges that can no longer be marked, and meanings that can no longer be defined.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuintan Ana Wikswo\u003c\/b\u003e is a writer and visual artist recognized for adventurous works that integrate her fiction, poetry, memoir, and essay with her photographs, performances, and films.
