| Description: |
Uses a range of personas and historical locations to examine our sense of community and what our lives can mean. This book, reporting back from the frontiers of conflicts and consumerism, takes us to a world mediated through news anchors, oracles and narrators, where violent simulations of national conviction fall dangerously short of being human. |
| Synopsis: |
"Radio Nostalgia" uses a range of personas and historical locations to examine our sense of community and what our lives can mean. Reporting back from the frontiers of conflicts and consumerism, we enter a world mediated through news anchors, oracles and narrators, where often violent simulations of national conviction fall dangerously short of being human. "As palliative as a corpse in a junkyard, "Radio Nostalgia" doesn't relax you so much as it opens a way into wakefulness. With a stunning lexicon, short phrases stuffed with grit, petrol and spleen, Chris Emery orchestrates a complex, resistant music into one to three-beat lines as our 'countdown to armaments'. He refuses to look away from the tableau vivant of degradation. 'It is (as promised) all here for you now', he writes, a twenty-first century so wounded and blot that only the language that crawls over it shimmers with its implicit hope for transformation and redemption" - Forrest Gander. |
