Recenzii
“Slips of the Mind is a poetics of forgetting, in which the condition is seen not merely as some regrettable lack, but rather as a positive creative principle in its own right. Soong discovers the allure of forgetting and the dazzling variety of phenomena that follow from it: formal, affective, stylistic, temporal. All of which refract back through Soong’s own prismatic writing, which is moving, beautifully styled, and meticulously crafted by turns.”
“A memorable case for forgetting. Articulating its aesthetics neither as mental symptom nor as intellectual lapse, Soong demonstrates how cultivated oblivion and the revivifying swerves of attention it can generate become the enabling condition for a writing of enactment (rather than reportage) and the secret (lost) thread that would tie Stein to the New York School, Language writing, and Conceptualism. As Soong shows, this writing defamiliarizes our history of defamiliarization by forgetting its canonical theorists and reinventing its concerns as the problem of every actual present.”
