Description for Neighbour Procedure
Paperback. A virtuoso polyvocal correspondence with the daily news, ancient scripture and contemporary theory. Num Pages: 96 pages, 1 Illustrations. BIC Classification: DCF. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 216 x 152 x 8. Weight in Grams: 171.
Rachel Zolf's powerful follow-up to the Trillium Award-winning Human Resources is a virtuoso polyvocal correspondence with the daily news, ancient scripture and contemporary theory that puts the ongoing conflict in Israel/Palestine firmly in the crosshairs. Plucked from a minefield of competing knowledges, media and public texts, Neighbour Procedure sees Zolf assemble an arsenal of poetic procedures and words borrowed from a cast of unlikely neighbours, including Mark Twain, Dadaist Marcel Janco, blogger-poet Ron Silliman and two women at the gym. The result is a dynamic constellation where humour and horror sit poised at the threshold of ethics and politics.
