— An encyclopedia of bending time —
A formally inventive memoir, An Encyclopedia of Bending Time explores mother-death, alternate universes, and grief. Through kaleidoscopic entries, thinkers like Einstein and Barthes are put in conversation with pop culture touchstones such as the television series Quantum Leap and Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland to explore what it means to lose someone, and what remains of them after they’re gone.
— Double feature —
Edited by Mark Alice Durant
