Publisher Marketing: The 4th book by John Trefry, concerning the life of Osip Mandelstam between his first arrest in 1933 and his death in 1938 transposed into the eternalist block time of a vast nationstate called the ADA and composed in such a way that the text can be read an infinite number of ways and is only actualized by reading, it does not sit inertly as a complete work within its closed covers. "Massive not only denotes something large / but something that contains a high volume of mass / Trefry's work / is not yet done growing / it is still collecting mass / hounding data into its gullet / Massive's body continues to expand / in examining [in our exagmination] of the .txt / we have a certain privilege / being able to see what the text looks like half-formed / before it has been fully structured / while it is still outputting information." -- Mike Corrao, author of GUT TEXT
