"A psychedelic odyssey of love
and spiritual discovery."
--Publishers Weekly
"Four hundred billion stars for Brian Charles Clark's
world-heavyweight champion novel... In this hallucinatory yet grounded tale, our narrator
employs a richly allusive style, half Joyce, half William Borroughs."
--Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine
review by Paul Di Filippo
"Brian Clark's romp through a world of static television
screens and desert landscapes sends science crashing headlong into fiction with its
highbeams on. The resulting wreckage, Splitting, is a jagged collage of
delicate poetry, hip-flasked theory and high-energy prose broadcast directly from the
cerebral cortex of a bisexual potassium terrorist stuggling to resist the systematic
telepathic colonization of earth by hyperlingual aliens. Using a host of agents, neurotic
doctors, and psychotic drugs, the aliens are replacing our fractured, amnesiac reality
with a cohesive, linear history that corrodes the human capacity to think."

"Brian Clark's first novel is a fever dream: a voluptuous
explosion of melody and rhythm. A gender-bending ride in search of spiritual identity, Splitting
revels in the regenerative power of art and language." --Nikki Dillion, author of Scratch
