Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | This is a book about some body. Some body is specialized in the impossible – delivering messages deemed undeliverable. Their call for voluntary work (due to urgency! – and that they seem to squeeze in between working at a factory that produces parts for buttons and breast pumps and serving food at a sensorily overwhelming restaurant) is rain. Rain, that falls down in various shapes, from drizzle to baby-fist-sized hail. The exceptionally dry summer, in which the fragmented narration takes place, doesn’t offer a lot of those wet opportunities needed for successful delivery. But time cracks seem to open up under- neath shower heads and in front of junctions where rubber boats are carried by their passengers. Both funny and philosophical, Martian M. Mächler’s auto fictional interweaving of voices present in prose and poetry point at a multiplicity and fluidity that is trapped within constructed binaries - impossible to be bound within a sealed body. The book creates a nuanced space for readers to engage with complex trauma and dissociation as a defense strategy – pointing at the always ready bodyguards trapped in their time zones, hovering around some body – indirectly asking for a more fluid conception of embodiment., publisher's website |
