Alma

"The only possible points of comparison for Javier Moreno's Alma, a book made of sentences, dealing with the materiality of the living, and obsessed with sorting, would be those texts that are most luminous and uncanny. Alma, unlike anything else I have read, brings together certain amazing qualities of Craig Dworkin's Legion (which consists entirely of statements from a psychiatric diagnostic instrument), of the more radical of David Markson's novels, and of the quietly fevered voices from the writing of Roberto Bolaño. Is it a soul? A novel? Interesting questions - but in any case, Alma is a configuration of words that demands to be sorted through, one that is compellingly unhinged, open and shut." Nick Montfort, Professor of Media Studies at MIT.
