Investigating exceptions to rules, equivalence of opposites, and the science of imaginary solutions (and its practitioners). https://patanyc.org
Fortunately for English readers, @wakefieldpress.bsky.social has issued far more accessible editions of Schwob's work in translation, including Imaginary Lives (along with other pataphysical and pataphysics-adjacent writing. All writing is pataphysics-adjacent, but some more than others.)

Chapters begin with epigraphs, welcome islands of plain English text, drawn from a vast library of equivalent sources, from Deuteronomy to Rick and Morty.
