Beskrivning
Bringing together internationally leading scholars and practitioners whose work engages with the continued importance of literary experiment, this book takes up the question of 'reading' in the contemporary climate from culturally and linguistically diverse perspectives. New reading practices are both offered and traced in the works of avant-garde writers across the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, including John Cage, Erica Hunt, Joan Retallack, Caroline Bergvall, and Uljana Wolf, among others. Exploring the socio-political significance of literary experiment, the book yields new critical approaches to reading avant-garde writing..

Recensioner i media

The essays comprising this conceptually rich and astutely edited volume read contemporary experimental writing in terms of its engagement with a genuinely historical present moment, unfolding at manifold sites of turbulence. The result is a set of extraordinarily timely essays on aesthetic activism, reflecting an array of perspectives while sharing a sense of the contemporary as emergent and still incomplete. This is a powerful contribution to the moment, and one with long term significance.
