Opis

This is a stunning and original book that breaks new ground in the field of contemporary literature. Informed by Greek and Shakespearean tragedy, readings of Lacan, Freud and P. G. Wodehouse, its principal themes are maternal desire; the structure of tragic thought; writing itself, and the possibility of finding seemingly impossible pathways through the suffering of lived experience. It is, among other things, a love story, a philosophical inquiry, an artwork, a collection of poetry, and--a book of jokes. Judith Gracie writes an expansive, -everyone welcome- style of epic, one which is proof for the urgent necessity of the poetic voice.

Bernard Burgoyne provides the Preface and fresh topological etchings. Lost in Space also features a dialectical exchange between the author and Claire Oerton, and many engravings of the tragedy and comedy of the demands of love.
