Manage your library—your way. Keep a running list or organize the books you've read into little stacks. i.e. Beach Reads, Cozy Covers, True Crime, etc.
In interconnected and mutually enfolding texts, protagonists face off with some deformation of being: psychological, sexual, political, philosophical. Plots play out across the body, as if formed, deformed, reformed by culture.
Drugs, violence, and sex inscribe the literal flesh of "figures" standing in for what formerly passed for character. In these fictions, a woman is more likely to appear with a needle in her arm than a baby. Sometimes a woman cannot be distinguished from a man at all.
Cutting from subject to object, severing the eye/I from skin, these fictions bring America back to its body. In Liberty's Excess, capitalism and individualism lose their cover stories, releasing desire all over culture's deadening hum. Yuknavitch is both master and mistress of this dis-formed beauty, creating a landscape neither Waste Land nor Kansas nor Pomo Glitter.
