Essays Near Knowing

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Past compunction, expressly unbeholden, these twenty-four single-subject essays train focus on a startling miscellany of topics -Foot Washing, Dossiers, Br'er Rabbit, Housesitting, Man Roulette, the Locus Amoenus-that begin to unpack the essayist himself and his life's rotating concerns: sex and sexuality, poetry and poetics, subject positions in American labor (not excluding academia), and his upbringing in working-class, Primitive Baptist, central-piedmont North Carolina.
