About The Nonsense of Thomas Rabies
From the publisher's feed
Thomas Rabies writes nonsense prose. It is not meant to be printed. It is meant to be heard, as he believes all literature should be. In this ongoing work, a single word can carry two or three…
meanings at once.
In each episode he reads it out loud, which is what it was made for. Lines echo and bend. A phrase repeats with one letter changed and becomes its own pun. Place names fold in on themselves.
The subjects are small and local on purpose: everyday errands and minor upsets in a northern spa town. Nothing much happens, and that is the point. Said out loud, the ordinary business of the town starts to sound like a hymn or a litany.
It is all recorded in his spare room.
