A loose chronicle masquerading as a novel, \u003ci\u003eVszhhzz\u003c\/i\u003e — like Michelle Bernstein's \u003ci\u003eAll The King's Horses\u003c\/i\u003e, the Bernadette Corporation's \u003ci\u003eR\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eeena Spaulings\u003c\/i\u003e, and Natasha Stagg's \u003ci\u003eSurveys\u003c\/i\u003e — couches sharp observations in a laconic and ambient style.

Always on the move, Graff's phototropic texts incline toward human heat, hallucinating characters upon contact.\" — John Kelsey\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Semiotexte\/Smart Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47038553391344,"sku":"9781635900156","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781635900156_p0.jpg?v=1763683551","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781635900156","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
