"Angst is the default human condition and when it is not over-ridden or denied, it engenders a state of Meaninglessness which, when indulged, seems to give rise to a strange Euphoria."
Each of the five sections in each chapter, being extracted from a much longer narrative, becomes an ‘image’ divested of all contextual meaning.
Read in sequence, these fragments can create an impression of an arbitrary interdependent significance – despite the fact that they are intrinsically different in subject, tone and style.
All five extracts can be re-located in their original narrative context by referring to the relevant section in the previous and following chapters.
