Items related to On Wing (Slovakian Literature)
On Wing, the first published work of fiction by the Slovak poet-philosopher Robert Gal, is a constellation of hundreds of aphorisms, dreams, anecdotes, and inquiries, all written in a restless, searching, "improvisational" prose whose techniques reflect those of Bernhard, Nietzsche, and Kierkegaard, not to mention the saxophonist and composer John Zorn, who makes a brief cameo as a character.

About the Author:
Róbert Gál was born in 1968 in Bratislava, Slovakia, and, after a period of study and itinerancy in New York, Jerusalem, and Berlin, currently resides in Prague. He is the author of several books of aphorisms and philosophical fragments, one of which, Signs & Symptoms, is available in English translation. On Wing, the author’s first work of fiction, was published in 2015 by Dalkey Archive Press. A new translation of his book Agnomia will publish in 2017.
Review:
"The Czech Cioran..." - Andrei Codrescu
"Gál's aphorisms combine incisive question-raising and gently troubling images involving Time, God... and existential self-awareness." -Antioch Review
"Gál is a phenomenon unto himself: a purveyor of neurotic philosophy encapsulated in elliptical portents and epifragmentals, the content of which is at all odds with their length." - Joshua Cohen
