Eunoia

A daring work of avant-garde literature, Eunoia is a challenging yet rewarding read. Christian Bök's goal was to write each chapter using only one vowel, while alluding to the art of writing and describing specific scenes. The result is a text that oscillates between poetry and prose, paying tribute to French writer Georges Perec's A Void. The vocabulary is exceptional, with episodes of onomatopoeia and beautifully crafted sentences. Bök's technique draws the reader's attention to the form and then back to the narrative, conveying powerful ideas of mathematical beauty.
