The Death of the Author: Christopher Nosnibor Commits (Commercial) Suicide
Christopher Nosnibor's one-man publishing revolution continues apace in 2009, and March 31st sees the publication of 'Lust for Death,' the first series of limited edition pamphlets. PR9.NET February 28, 2009 - York, England - Following on from the underground success of his cut-up anti-novel 'THE PLAGIARIST' and the limited edition pamphlet 'A Call for Submission' in 2008, Christopher Nosnibor will be publishing a short story in A5 pamphlet form in each quarter of 2009. Each will be available in a strictly limited edition of just 25 copies, and will only be available via christophernosnibor.co.uk. 'Lust for death' is the first in the series. Pre-orders will be taken from 1st March. 'Lust for Death' is the first in a series of limited edition pamphlets published in a quarterly basis through 2009. Across the series, Christopher will explore various themes form a range of angles, and each story will take a very different form from the others. However, the presentation and form will be such as to provide a unified whole in keeping with the idea of the publications forming a series designed to push the parameters of established narrative forms. 'Lust for Death' is composed of three short chapters, each chapter in turn consists of three subsections. The first section of each chapter tells the story from the perspective of the first-person narrator around whose death the story is built. The second section of each chapter recounts events through the eyes of one of the lead character's friends, and thus combines first and third-person narratives. The third section of each chapter tells the story from a third-person authorial standpoint, in which all events are observed from an omniscient place. On the subject of 'Lust for Death,' and its narrative structure Christopher says, 'I wanted to dig deep into the theme of death. Not just literal death, but metaphorical death, the death of the author and the death of the narrator. But I wanted to keep it succinct and I wanted the form to be radical and challenging. Constructed from three times three narratives, I have named this formula 3x3x3, or Cube narrative. Of course, it will still feature all of my usual trademarks, such as song and lyrical references, strong language and gratuitous sex and violence. Or at least some of the aforementioned. I intend to push my own limits as well as the readers.'" If Christopher's previous output has sown us anything, it's that audiences can expect the unexpected. He recently completed a novella, entitled 'From Destinations Set' constructed entirely using dual narrative, and is currently working on a short film based on 'THE PLAGIARIST,' which continues to shock, astonish and confound the expectations of readers the world over. The remaining titles following at three-month intervals. 'I've been there, done that. Nothing touches me any more. I'm not saying I'm some big thrill-seeker or that I've lived with wild, reckless abandon, that I've done everything. But I've done my share of living, seen enough to know what's what, what goes on, what's out there, what's on offer. And experienced enough to know my own limitations. And it's the ultimate realisation of just how extreme those limitations are that have brought me here. So it's not that I've been pushed too far, but the fact that I can't push far enough that means I simply cannot take any more.' So begins 'Lust for Death,' a story that follows the final days of Cameron Jones, as told from three different perspectives. In 'Lust for Death,' Nosnibor presents more than just a story, it is a meditation on the great unknown, the obsession few dare to discuss, the one certainty in life: death. # # #
