De'ath Sound

This thesis consists of De'ath Sound, a short poetic novel (of approximately 27,000 words), and Check Your Sex at the Door, a critical postface. / In the novel, traditional notions of plot and character fracture, and the underlying story, a kind of impulsion towards plot, plays itself out in ambiguous, even disturbing ways. The work itself, much shorter than a traditional novel, shares some of the sensibilities and structures of a long poem. The use of repetition, recurrent imagery, and the rhythm of sound, informs the narrative. / The postface, intimately connected with the fictional text, employs language, syntax, and rhythms of speech which echo those used in the fictional text. As in any good work of fiction, language is privileged, suffusing and even disrupting form and content.
