Description
Village Buchklub | R-O-N=O | Ivy Valerie Nuss | diaphanes 2025
Hosted by Nils Philipp
“R-O-N=O,” subtitled “Dissociation,” is the second novel published in 2025 by Berlin-based author Ivy Valerie Nuss, who claims on her website to be a real person. The synopsis of this work reads like the quintessence of queer occultism: transsexuals sniff poppers, furries ketamine, and hormones float freely around like UFOs.
That this is a novel, as the book cover suggests, is open to doubt. Intriguing!
What can we discern in the lucid moments of this literary trip? And what images does it make us hallucinate?
Is enlightenment possible when you’re high? Let’s find out at a joint book discussion in March.
Nils Philippis an art and architecture educator as well as a poet, photographer and decorator. After gaining insightful experiences as a janitor, lifeguard and deli vendor, he now works, among other things, as a bookseller. While he is waiting for his breakthrough as writer or art director, he reads plenty and with pleasure.
