Dead Consciousness

About this book

Adel receives an unidentified manuscript in an ordinary moment, but every page makes the surrounding world less stable and his memory more fragile. He gradually realizes that he is not reviewing a novel; the manuscript is reviewing him, extracting details from his mind to fill its blank spaces. A train stops outside time and reality fractures at every turn. Blending psychological mystery with metafiction, Dead Consciousness asks whether a reader can become only a line in a text written before he existed, and what remains if the book closes first.
