WHAT IS THE USE OF A BOOK ASTHETICS: Tideland by Mitch Cullin


I tried understanding the exact circumstances that brought me to Texas instead of Denmark, but nothing presented itself. I knew only that I had been on my own since that first night in the back country, and that I'd fled Los Angeles after my mother turned blue. Then I saw myself swimming through a vast underwater wilderness, going deeper and deeper, like a penny tossed into the hundred year ocean, or Alice falling very slowly into the rabbit hole.

Tried to pick the least disturbing images I could find to fit this book. It is by no means an easy read.
