The Tedium Lies is the debut work of English author and musician Jacob H. Kyle, a treatise of temperament formulated from fragmentary cahiers into aphoristic prose poems comprising four topical chapters: epistemological metaphysics, religious critique, existential pessimism, and literary as well as linguistic analysis. With a foreword by Andre Solnikkar.
“An affecting poetic treatise of pessimistic reactivity to the exterior horrors of being, not without a thoroughly introspective melancholy. A must-read for admirers of Pessoa and Cioran, Jacob H. Kyle engraves a most prominent anti-writ in a disquieting voice of its own (upon and beyond the former authors' redolent corpses).”
— Elytron Frass, author of Moieties, VITIATORS, and Liber Exuvia
“The greatest philosophers are always not such but moreso poets in their mastery of language merged with passion and feeling, then thought. Think Nietzsche, Cioran. Now Kyle. Amazingly penned and among the best of a long tradition.”
— Andrew Cyril Macdonald, author of op. cit/urbes and curator at Version (9) Magazine
“Existence takes punished precedence in a world ailing with the agonies of consequence and misfortune. Once something becomes aware of its existence, once something is born to nothing, it cannot compel itself to cease except by cruelly wishing with futility for deliverance.”
“The products and processes of nature which functionally disseminate life are each founded by a pledge of pain to be endured. Every good, every sigh is a distraction allaying weakness and death. Nature is a malformed vermin, a parasite burrowing audaciously the aches of a comatose universe.”

“Much of the world’s scripture denigrates what would ultimately steer an honest life, one that sanctifies gnomic courage without sacrifice to the will of He who watches from afar like a colosseum of resentment, like a festering cradle, entertaining incredible patience for the whole charade, the agonising anthill, the starving labyrinth, the enclosure of His vain architectural prominence erected in order for more abject varieties of vying death, blind and maimed, to appease prolonged viewing till the whole extinction of man.”
“The products and processes of nature which functionally disseminate life are each founded by a pledge of pain to be endured. Every good, every sigh is a distraction allaying weakness and death. Nature is a malformed vermin, a parasite burrowing audaciously the aches of a comatose universe.”
