Cock: Mind Your Mind (The Back and Forth Series)

COCK: Mind Your Mind is a darkly funny and unsettling exploration of modern existence. Blending absurdist dialogue, short essays, prose poems, and surreal narratives, the book interrogates how we think, cope, perform, and unravel in a world saturated with noise, power, and contradiction.

Structured in four movements—The Noise and the Hustle, The Masks We Wear, The Unraveling, and What Remains—the book traces the inner life of contemporary anxiety: work, money, desire, morality, faith, love, boredom, and the quiet desperation beneath everyday routines. Conversations slide into monologues, satire collapses into horror, and moments of clarity are undercut by doubt, humor, and self-awareness.

Influenced by existentialism and absurdism, yet grounded in distinctly modern settings—offices, call centers, airports, markets, apartments—it captures the strange violence, comedy, and tenderness of being conscious right now.

This is a book for readers who feel overstimulated, skeptical, curious, and uncomfortable with easy answers. COCK: Mind Your Mind doesn’t promise peace—but it offers recognition, irreverence, and the rare comfort of seeing the chaos named.
