The Dissolving Path is a semi-organized diary of sorts which combines three separate texts from the period of 2019-2020, including: Cactus Patch (composed of all the material that was cut from Clyssus of Man during editing), a collection of writings collectively regarded as The Ashland Texts which was maintained in the weeks leading up to Leviyey’s final astragon, and lastly an untitled lot of notes written prior to and alongside Clyssus of Man as a means of exorcising all of the obsessive and traumatic thoughts for which he otherwise had no outlet. The Dissolving Path strips away the gloss coat of mythopoeia and allegory so prominent within Leviyey’s other works to present a very stark, straightforward look into his innermost conflicts and motivations—with most of the focus being given to his strained relationship with human society. Though originally intended to be released as a supplementary text available only to avid readers of Leviyey’s work, the author has chosen to bring it before a wider audience in the belief that it forms an indispensable part of his canon even if its contents no longer represent his stance and outlook. Since this book contains information that may spoil the events of Clyssus of Man, it is recommend that readers read Clyssus of Man before reading The Dissolving Path.
