Theater of War: The Plot Against the American Mind
Autor Nicholas Powersen Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 ian 2005
A collection of socialist, surrealist poetry and prose, Theater of War parodies the rhetoric of the U.S. National Security Strategy Report, exposing the fascist machinations of the Bush administration. Presented with unforgiving humor, disjunctive syntax, and subversive wordplay, Theater of War removes the earplugs that "defend" us from dissent.

Recenzii
"In this detournement of political statements like the U.S. National Security Strategy Report, a reader will inquire when is 'the truth' blurred; conversely, when does Powers’ alternative reading come painfully close to the real? The author's hard-hitting, farcical longer-form poems might have constituted a part one, dissolving into the more empathetic, injured fragments. But his choreographed admixture embodies how emotions come. Anger interspersed with hurt; a loudly reinterpreted official voice, broken by still louder whispers." Bruna Mori, Derive (Meritage Press)
