Synopsis
Writer/theorist Evan Calder Williams, a doctoral candidate at the University of California, Santa Cruz, picks up the thread of on-going conversations using a time-honored form: the letter. This second volume from Oslo Editions is a collection of urgent missives addressed to unnamed friends, written from Rome during the summer of 2010 on the author's blog, "Socialism and/or barbarism." Set against the backdrop of Berlusconi's Italy and the ruins of late capitalism, Williams pursues a cynical landscape of his own design, with pungent observations ranging from dogs to wolves, graffiti to ashes, and pessimism (lots of it) to communism. Sample heading: "Decorative arches made of pelvic bones, and the imbecility of existence." Williams is the author of Combined and Uneven Apocalypse.
