Over, In, and Under

by Emma Bolland

Considering the processes of speaking, writing, reading, and remembering, through the lens of post-traumatic language, Over, In, and Under moves between fiction, prose-poem, script, and essay. Freud is psychotically mistranslated; Lacan is refigured as an auto-fictional and hallucinatory framing of ‘city’; screenwriting and Twitter pornography are brought to bear on silence; and the forgetting of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein prompts the consideration of the monstrous self."Emma Bolland can be charged and found guilty of walking through a number of the psychological classics while female. These hybrid-texts have carried me into some of the chasms of hilarity and terror over which the cultural artefacts they address are precariously suspended."Joanna Walsh, author of Hotel and Break.up

it's really confusing, but makes me feel smart and is a perfect sitting in a park with a headache and an avocado sandwich book. the concept is top tier; every chapter gives a new feel and it's kind of uncomfortable to read. if you like sitting by a fireplace and drinking hot chocolate, do not read this, if you are a masochist that likes wolves and borderline twilight-shit then you'd love it.
im neither but it's a nice experimental read! :)
