\nCount from Zero to One Hundred<\/em> is written as a series of prose fragments, fluctuating from conversation to philosophical reflection in an anxious stuttering staccato, as its narrator moves across some of the great cities of Europe \u2013 Berlin, London, Dublin, Budapest \u2013 and other parts of the world. Traces of Beckett and Joyce are felt in this moving and contemporary meditation on the limits and vulnerability of the body, and the power of language and imagination to transcend those limits. Taking his cue from Japanese author Kenzabur? ?e\u2019s Rouse Up O Young Men of the New Age!<\/em>, Alan Cunningham has produced a debut novella that is both beautiful and experimental \u2013 a powerful exploration of sexuality, placelessness and the body.<\/p>\n
