Parallax Newsletter #145: The Infinite Now
Tom Amarque’s new novel at Parallax-Publishing; Lifeforce Leadership; The Wound of Desire
The Infinite Now
A love story as old as time itself—told in the language of myth, eros, and metamorphosis.
In his new novel The Infinite Now, author and philosopher Tom Amarque captures the incandescent intensity of love as both revelation and dissolution. Written in a luminous, intimate prose reminiscent of Hermann Hesse’s spiritual introspection and Henry Miller’s feverish sensuality, the book fuses lyric realism, erotic mythology, and existential philosophy into a single, haunting meditation on what it means to meet another soul beyond time.
Set between the Mediterranean lockdown and the mythic underworld of desire, The Infinite Now unfolds as both confession and initiation—a descent through passion, loss, and renewal. The narrator’s encounter with a mysterious woman, Peisinoe, becomes a mirror for the eternal cycles of creation and destruction that underlie all love stories.
Blending diary, dream, and metaphysical vision, Amarque creates a literary experience that feels at once ancient and unmistakably contemporary. His language moves between tenderness and rawness, between the sacred and the profane—exploring love not as sentiment but as cosmic principle, the force through which the world continually remakes itself.
“Everything happens now,” Amarque writes. “Everything is present—exactly now—if we lift the veil of historical time and behold the whole.”
The Infinite Now is available through Parallax Media and selected online retailers.

Lifeforce Leadership - with Fanny Norlin Starts Today!
The modern world, characterized by decentralized networks and rapid digital speed, lacks a crucial element in its leadership: the true feminine and the true masculine. The true power of men and women has arguably been distorted or suppressed in the modern world. Fanny Norlin’s work maps out a new paradigm for leadership in her course, “Life Force Leadership.”
In a culture plagued by distorted gender roles, “boyish” CEOs, and a relentless pursuit of “progress” for its own sake, and “girlbosses” that caricaturize femininity or imitate men, Norlin argues that the key to genuinely successful organizations and fulfilling lives lies in reclaiming the erotic, sacred relationship between the masculine and feminine principles.
