Zusammenfassung

The Solex Brothers explores the fate of the individual - albeit a rather feeble individual - and of personal responsibility in a culture of absurd, inexorable forces. Farce navigating towards moral absolution in narratives at once Fauvist and Baroque, expunging the twee with a reformist's remorseless vigour.

The Solex Brothers (Redux) Zusammenfassung

The Solex Brothers (Redux): And Other Prose Poems Luke Kennard

Like a toboggan of wolves who have eaten their driver, The Solex Brothers rushes blindly through the forest, drawing on the tropes and archetypes of folk tales, parables, political manifestos, philosophical tracts and grammar. Unlike a toboggan of wolves, The Solex Brothers explores the fate of the individual albeit a rather feeble individual and of personal responsibility in a culture of absurd, inexorable forces. Farce navigating towards moral absolution in narratives at once Fauvist and Baroque, expunging the twee with a reformist's remorseless vigour; cherishing its influences with a poststructuralists vertical rigour; and, at times, chasing its tail with a schoolboys reductive snigger. Like a toboggan of wolves who are beginning to regret having set-upon and eaten their driver, the world of The Solex Brothers is funny, sad and irretrievably lost

The Solex Brothers (Redux) Bewertungen

Kennards imaginative range is constantly awe-inspiring, coupling as it does seeming absurdities with healthy doses of down-to-earthiness to concoct, well, I dont care to try to name what it concocts, because to name it would spoil my day. Reading The Esplanade, which concerns a spy and an assassin, sort of, it occurred to me somewhat belatedly that the voice behind these, um, things (the narrator? Well, maybe) is consistent. It belongs to a participant in whats going on, someone who is a part of things but somehow adrift, at times very switched on and self-assured, at other times bemused and something of a spectator.

-- Martin Stannard * Litter Magazine *

The Solex Brothers struck me as probably the most interesting debut of 2005 ... original and startlingly imaginative lyrical pyrotechnics.

-- Nathan Thompson * Shearsman Magazine *

He is a talent to watch out for. He's got it. Let's hope he doesn't lose it, either to the world of performance cliche or the mainstream's emasculating embrace.

-- Tim Allen * Terrible Work *
