About the Book
Transcend the Boundaries of Language and Perception
Wordfallen chronicles the unconventional journey of two kindred spirits - Alex, an acclaimed poet struggling with writer’s block and inner turmoil, and Harper, a queer linguist devoted to the study of forbidden languages.
As an inexplicable phenomenon called the “Wordfall” unleashes a surreal storm of linguistic chaos upon the world, reality itself seems to unravel at the seams. Buildings crumble into letters, skies rain language, and Alex and Harper find themselves venturing into an enigmatic realm where words assume physical form.
Battling confusion and trepidation, the duo gradually realize that a mysterious deity named Eluma resides at the heart of this chaos. As they learn to navigate the unpredictable Wordfall, Alex and Harper discover life-altering truths encoded within this mystical, linguistic maze – revelations about the fluidity of reality, the influence of quantum consciousness, and language’s unrealized power to dismantle barriers and bridge connections.
Blending glittering prose with philosophic insight, Wordfallen dives into experimental, visionary territory where the building blocks of reality – words themselves – are wild, living, breathing...conscious entities. Lyrical yet playfully avant-garde, the story explores the fresh ideas of linguistic alchemy, lexical consciousness, and what “language” may evolve into given its primal, generative role in cognition itself.
By questioning and dissolving obsolete assumptions about language, meaning, and structures of consensus reality, Wordfallen makes you fall in love with the reality-rendering power of words all over again. Venture to the frontier where language makes another evolutionary leap... and watch as your assumptions dissolve amid the delightful syntactical chaos!
