Beginning with an admission that language and embodiment seem indistinguishable, yet refusing to claim a singular voice, the texts in this collection lurch between the fiery crucible of a transition and the weird jaggedness of our own continuity; between inverted memoir and prose-poetry; the raw, irrepressible lyric and the essay as an exercise in the art of digging-one’s-heels-in. \u003cem\u003eDisquiet Drive\u003c\/em\u003e is about undoing the words we’re handed so that language can survive, and undoing the body so that it can find a way to live.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e'\u003cem\u003eDisquiet Drive\u003c\/em\u003e is restlessly exquisite. Hesse K’s writing vibrates with the quiet solar intensity of a planetary body that can’t be looked at directly: things slip, slink, snick and lick into each other, limning a gorgeous periphery where genre, past and future selves, follies, fossils and hormones collide. I can’t remember when I last read something as exhilarating, beautiful and deeply attuned to the implications and contradictions involved in struggling towards a bearable world, and the ‘undomesticated sensibility’ it requires of us.' — Daisy Lafarge, author of Lovebug\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e'Buck wild and entirely unique, \u003cem\u003eDisquiet Drive\u003c\/em\u003e took me to the beautiful and chaotic edge of the universe and made me want to write (live) for 200 years.' — Eliot Duncan, author of Ponyboy\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Boekhandel Perdu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62705753620810,"sku":null,"price":20.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/2782\/9974\/files\/DisquietDrive_400x_04defc0c-b2a9-4855-9315-19322ce850c0.jpg?v=1790947210","url":"https:\/\/boekhandelperdu.nl\/products\/disquiet-drive","provider":"Boekhandel Perdu","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
