Product description...

NOUMENA blends memoir, fiction, and philosophical discourse. self-destruction and spiritual rebirth. Its nonlinear structure and surreal elements give it a dreamlike quality.

Poetic and introspective writing. The prose has a lyrical, almost meditative quality that is immersive, that, profoundly engages with identity, addiction, and transcendence. The writing paints strong mental pictures, drawing the reader into its surreal landscape, and just may become a polished mirror for one to see themselves.
