"The book is unique, and as far as I know I am the only writer to put something together like this. In essence, it's more similar to a collection of short stories, poems and short-shorts than a novel, but the intent is that the assembly of the pieces create a whole rather like the incomplete pieces of pictures can combine to create something interesting and meaningful in a collage. Most of the book is "fragments" that do not stand on their own, but weave together in interesting ways."
I wouldn't be so sure about that "only writer to put something together like this" thing. That sounds a *lot* like Jeff VanderMeer's CITY OF SAINTS AND MADMEN or even a Mark Danielewski project. Which is to say, more encouragingly, there is hope for weird, weird works. :)
