We‪:‬

“a sinister nightmare quality… This novel is obviously not your ordinary, linear tale of family trials and tribulations, but something more.”

– The Source Weekly

 

We is written and designed to be read with codes linking characters' points-of-view and themes like "the world cannot keep standing" and "a beautiful aside." This iBook edition includes a video interview with author c.vance, book trailers, an art exhibition, and music by Patch Rubin.

THE STORY:  In order to extract something beautiful from ordinary words, c.vance retold his family's history abstractly rather than using the traditional memoir form. Somewhere in the process, the story infected words and the words became fable. Now, the author finds it difficult to remember if his grandfather really built bridges or something else--- and in what way his father actually harvested land-- and where his parents truly met- and how the world finally ended.  In some places, the words succeed in becoming beautiful and true; in other places, the fable is more honest than anything that actually happened.
