Bøker av John Madera

In this debut collection of experimental short fiction, John Madera explores the complexities of identity, memory, history, and language, revealing the heterogeneities and instabilities that distinguish the post-industrial world. Born of diaspora and transversalism, the fourteen stories in Nervosities exhibit narrative modes and voices that converge on our ever-evolving culture of violence, mediatization, and fragmentation. Ultimately, these fictions enact a realization of what Deleuze and Guattari (via Antonin Artaud) call "the cancerous body of America, the body of war and money." Reading Nervosities is at once a journey to an alternate universe and an uncanny chronicle of all-too-familiar terrain¿¿¿¿.
