This extraordinary new book is essayfictionpoetry, an experiment in form, 'a serial novel for publication in the newspaper' that collapses the distinction between documentary and fiction.Leslie Scalapino is widely regarded as one of the best avantgarde writers in America today. This extraordinary new book is essayfictionpoetry, an experiment in form, 'a serial novel for publication in the newspaper' that collapses the distinction between documentary and fiction. Loosely set in Los Angeles, the book scrutinizes our imagemaking, producing extreme and vivid imageshyena, Muscle Beach in Venice, the Supreme Court, subway ridesin order for them to be real. Countering contemporary trends toward interiority, Scalapino's work constitutes a unique effort to 'be' objectively in the world. The writing is an action, a dynamic push to make intimacy in the public realm. She does not distinguish between poetry and 'real events': her writing is analogous to Buddhist notions of dreaming one is a butterfly, and becoming aware that actually being the butterfly is as real as dreaming it.
