Reviews

Acts of Infidelity – Lena Andersson

by

If the two books are so similar, why did I love WILLFUL DISREGARD so much and find ACTS OF INFIDELITY exasperating?

Je Nathanaël – Nathanaël

by

In Je, Nathanaël, the speaking subject, or more properly, speech, is not a question of absolute being but partial positions and orientations.

Crimson – Niviaq Korneliussen

by

CRIMSON is a piece of literature that aims to make sense of queer experience by constructing a literary world adequate to house its complexities.

Fox – Dubravka Ugrešić

by

The moment I looked at the frightened animal in the corner of a dirty cage, I knew that writers and storytellers were dangerous manipulators.

Love in the New Millennium – Can Xue

by

Without narrative restraint (like both love and time?).

Passing Away – Tom LeClair

by

[PASSING AWAY] may most adeptly assimilate the influence of those adventurous writers whose work Tom LeClair the critic has so usefully illuminated.

Breathing: Chaos and Poetry – Franco “Bifo” Berardi

by

There’s a great deal of chaos, very little breathing or poetry.

Malva – Hagar Peeters

by

The heroine of MALVA is a fictional creation, and as a typical daughter, she is only too prepared to justify her father’s behavior.

Brother in Ice – Alicia Kopf

by

The aims of the heroic age of Antarctic exploration are exposed by the writer as quests into nothingness.
