Claremont, CA – October 20, 2016 — Pelekinesis is pleased to announce the upcoming release of Autobiography Without Words, the second volume of short writings from master minimalist Peter Cherches.
There's a thin line between memoir and fiction, and Peter Cherches walks it in Autobiography Without Words. We follow the main character, variously known as Pete, Mr. Cherches and Peter Cherches, through the big and small adventures of life, from childhood crimes and punishments to trips to India and Mars. A departure from the cool minimalism of Cherches' previous collection, Lift Your Right Arm, this book will break your heart, mess with your head and have you rolling on the floor, all at once.
Autobiography Without Words by Peter Cherches will be available March 8, 2017 through Baker & Taylor, Bertrams, directly from the publisher's website, and in fine local bookstores worldwide.
