Review of Vi Khi Nao’s “Suicide: The Autoimmune Disorder of the Psyche”

"By releasing the cyclical thirst for punishment, her approach frees us into an open atlas of human pain where there is little distinction between sufferer and harmer. Nao’s book helps to pull apart the transformation that turns a person who experiences troubles, into a person who is troubled, into a person who is trouble. " - Laura Paul

Review of Madison McCartha’s “Freakophone World”

"[R]emember with discomfort and admiration how a certain kind of grade-school kid can shit-talk; the shit-talk makes itself felt under and over the dominant (i.e. authority’s/ bourgeois civility’s) sound. But audible. Quite audible. The shit-talk hangs around like some funny but threatening chunk that can bop between stalactite and stalagmite. If dominant sound too is a kind of tunnel, a worm, then there’s room to make it wormed through, or it gets sucked into a freakophonic tunnel" -Olivia Cronk & Philip Sorenson
