a novel by Edward David

Cassius & Claudio is the second in a series of three novels by Edward David exploring identity, place, and language while continuing his exploration into non-linear narrative forms and the structural possibilities in new literature.

Cassius & Claudio is a tale of a friendship that develops between a secretive city dweller, and a renowned European poet who, in a mad attempt to protect a secret from his past, has stolen a manuscript from his American publisher. It is a novel presented in a triptych, containing three distinct layers of a three paneled formula (a rash act — a dark contract — a lie); it is the story of a poet rendered in a spare, elegant style where lines, even words are counted and where reiterations establish an incantatory rhythm; finally it may be seen as a dramatic meditation on what Abel Martín once called ‘the essential heterogeneity of being’ during which dualities and alter-egos are in constant resonance.

While Edward David is the author of several novels and treatises, Cassius & Claudio was proudly chosen as our first edition as it represents the spirit of risk in language and literature that we seek to further.
