Split Brain Kyle Hemmings

The short pieces of Kyle Hemmings' Split Brain describe the human condition in various states of disconnect: men and women disassociated from themselves, their bodies, their surroundings, their pasts. The collection also explores the mind vs. matter dualism through several pieces that use mannequins as characters. Although connection is possible and sometimes successful, paranoia, anxiety, and a profound sense of isolation echo through these haunting tales.
