Fiction. "Just as the central text of the Kabbalah is unafraid to work through questions as elemental as cannibalism, ARC: CLEAVAGE OF GHOSTS becomes the central novel of the new confrontation with mysticism by a writer who is a direct heir of Kafka and Singer. Even more of a poet than his predecessors, Noam Mor conjures the voice and narration of the soul like a contemporary Paul Celan. It's virtually impossible to describe his work without invoking the company of writers sorely missed. His multifaceted talent limns the interior life of the human body as though Dostoevsky had returned from underground. The depths of humor and sexuality are noted effortlessly and dreamlike, as if David Lynch were given ten years to film Notes from the Underground" - David Rosenberg.

Noam Mor has had short stories published in First Intensity Magazine, Prairie Winds, Downtown Brooklyn and Brooklyn Rail. "Exile," a video he produced and directed, based upon his story, "Listen Baby/I'm hot stuff/I could be/a star," was adapted into a video under a grant from The Kitchen. "Exile" was part of a video presentation at The Kitchen in December of 1996 and was part of the New York International Independent Film & Video Festival in 1997, as well as being shown at The Knitting Factory in 1998. He has had poems published in Visions International and Psychopoetica, in England. Arc: The Cleavage of Ghosts, is his first novel. Noam is a professor of English and philosophy in the New York City area, where he lives with his beloved.
