As If / Als Ob explores how human beings survive without firm foundations — how judgment, identity, and responsibility persist through illusion, performance, and fragile coherence when certainty collapses. A philosophical–psychoanalytic meditation on seeming, being, and damaged subjectivity.

Following "Superatomic Guignols Untrammeled: A Critique of Irrationality," this work interrogates “nothing” not as concept but as the experience(s) of loss, deprivation, and environmental failure, using psychoanalysis, philosophy, and formal experiment to undo the consolations of the abstract notion of "nothingness."

A monodrama in which the individual's Genius, his inner censor (The Censor), and his (universal, nuclear) Psychopath discuss their inter-relations and the management of human subjectivity, identity, meaning, and experience.

An author, his mother (deceased), his brother (schizophrenic), and the annotation (The Annotator) converse about a failed 3 volume book of poetry, entitled “The Quiet Transgression of Being,” and devoted to the question of original sin, understood psychanalytically as the intuition of sin or crime at being alive and conscious.

A critique of the irrational written in the "style of the irrational." Cognitively disjointed yet emotionally authentic language permits this text, as Wallace Stevens once described poetry, to "resist the intelligence almost successfully."
