WHAT WOUNDED TACO IS

WOUNDED TACO is an experimental, non-linear novel built from fragments, repetitions, and shifting signals.

It does not unfold through a traditional plot.

Instead, it creates a reading experience based on pattern, recurrence, and accumulation.

You do not have to “solve” it.
You enter it.

HOW TO READ IT

There is no single correct way to read WOUNDED TACO.

You can:
— start at the beginning
— open to any page
— read in short bursts
— follow recurring images, phrases, and moods

The book is designed to work through exposure rather than linear explanation.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Inside WOUNDED TACO you will encounter:

— Texas as myth, landscape, and signal field
— recurring figures and unstable identities
— media saturation, repetition, and interference
— fragments that echo and mutate across the text
— a reading experience shaped by mood, rhythm, and return

This is not a conventional novel.

It is a literary system.

WHO IT MAY APPEAL TO

WOUNDED TACO may be of interest to readers of:

— experimental fiction
— nonlinear novels
— conceptual literature
— postmodern writing
— works shaped by repetition, fragmentation, and recursion

It may also appeal to readers interested in writing influenced by J. G. Ballard, William S. Burroughs, and other writers working at the edge of narrative form.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Mark Leach is a North Texas writer whose work explores experimental form, media recursion, identity instability, and large-scale conceptual writing.

WOUNDED TACO was written over two years in the margins of ordinary life—early mornings, late nights, and the leftover spaces of a long career spent writing inside systems built on clarity and control.

This book was written outside those systems.

FINAL NOTE

WOUNDED TACO is not a story you have to follow perfectly.

It is a book you enter, move through, and assemble in your own way.
