‘These hybrid-texts have carried me into some of the chasms of hilarity and terror over which the cultural artefacts they address are precariously suspended.’ Joanna Walsh, author of Hotel and Break.up. ‘I find the transformation that takes place. and the tenor of the resulting text, remarkable.’ Peter Riley, in The Fortnightly Review.
Over, In, and Under moves between fiction, prose-poem, script, and essay. Freud is psychotically mistranslated; Lacan is refigured as an auto-fictional and hallucinatory framing of ‘city’; screenwriting is brought to bear on silence; and the forgetting of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein prompts the consideration of the monstrous self. https://dostoyevskywannabe.com/experiments/over_in_and_under
