The multiawardwinning meditation on survival, care and the place of literature in an unequal worldAround that time my daughter and I had this exchangeAnne, imagine if the world had nothing in it.Do you mean nothing at all just darkness or a world without objects?I mean a world without things no houses, chairs, or cars. A world with only people and trees and dirt.What do you think would happen?People would make things. We would make things with trees and dirt.When the cold comes, when our needs announce themselves, it is with clothing, with possessions, in literature, through dreams in all the forms and categories that shape, contain and constrain that we keep ourselves alive. Yet, in a society in which some are rich and some are poor, who gets to dream, and who invents our forms? This is a book made of money and the lack of money of writing and of notwriting of illness and of care of lowrent apartments, cakebaking mothers, Socratic daughters and bodies that refuse to become information.
