Description

• A unique concept that breaks the book into four novellas, each by a different author, but revolving around the same theme: purity.
• For lovers of Renee Gladmans novels, Disintegration in Four Parts constructs four different worlds.
• Each section of the book takes on a different style, i.e. satire, historical fiction, epistolary, mystery, giving an eclectic but balanced experience for readers -- the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
• The idea of purity is more relevant than ever, with both positive and negative connotations, and the four authors consider both.
