Triptych

By turns swaggering and stumbling the Triptych is the dramatization of Muindi Fanuel Muindis dream of becoming what Roland Barthes called a logothète the founder of a language. The Triptych contains Muindis first two published books Whither Otherwise and Solutions for Postmodern Living and a brief and baffling third book Improbable Aberrations & Other Idiocies. If pressed to name the precursors of this literary curio one might recognize Muindis voice or his habits in Lucretius De rerum natura in Friedrich Schlegels Fragments in R.D. Laings Knots in Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattaris Mille Plateaux and in Anne Carsons Plainwater--but Muindis idiosyncrasies although recognizable in the works of his precursors will always remain his own.
