By means of a dissonant fluidity and form Parsival conveys its readers along by now familiar trajectories: power, knowledge, absurdity, oppression, aporia, horror and uncertainty that comprise our contemporary. Parsival's quest of course is a non-quest (there is no Grail) or perhaps an inquest into the complexities of our century's paideuma. The pages' layout and typographic variations in style and size are designed to evoke Mallarmé 's in Un Coup de Des. Yet Parsival morphs into Un Coup de Dada or even Un Coup de DNA intertwining four separate texts that can be read discretely or helixed into the composite fifth.
