Twat Bubble has featured before the writer and neuroscientist, David Eagleman. In this interview with Sean O'Hagan for The Guardian, Eagleman revisits again his 'possibilian' agenda - for those of you unfamiliar with his book, 'Sum: forty tales form the afterlife,' Eagleman posits the possibility of a myriad number of post death scenarios - none of which he asserts as being more possible (or impossible) than the remainder. We look forward to his forthcoming novel - which promises to include life, the universe and maybe slightly more than everything...
Frank Huyler is an emergency physician living in New Mexico. He first came to prominence with the publication, in 2004, of 'The blood of strangers,' a wonderful collection of 28 short stories - all of them involving the day to night, life and death work of an A and E doctor. Subsequent novels have attempted to grapple with larger themes; whilst still retaining and maintaining a consistent thread of consideration and humanity - all 3 however unwaveringly focus on the singular disparities between life and death and the immediacy with which the former can so quickly, so unrelentingly, become the latter.
