Reviews

‘This is a wholly original work of writing theory as a restless form of life built like a muscle in the granular friction between word and world. A free-thinking choreography of a theatre of truth that reaches out, swerves, calls forth, recalibrates, doubles down, and stills in the modularity of pulses, beats, edge sensations and the vast unthought of a world failing. Here, thought is improvisatory and performative – a riffing on the potentia of worldings as they unfold. This takes chops.’ —Kathleen Stewart, author of Ordinary Affects -- .
