*PDF EBOOK* gospel of regicide by Eunsong Kim

"Near the start of Gospel of Regicide, Eunsong Kim writes: “i hate everything about your presence.”  It’s a turn in the work that ruptures the phatic communion between vocal, inhibited and non-maternal participants: the agreed-upon exchange of what is uttered and then named.  It’s not simply, in this instant, that a colonial  self splits off, but also, that the economic category of compensation has reached its limits.  Ardor, aversion and courage are all present in this line, a charge which carries this much longed-for book by a writer who has been dazzling me since I first heard her present an incredible talk, Rogue Count, at a conference on race and creative writing in Spring 2015.

I also want to note the experience of narrative time in this extraordinary work: the “stories that do not remember them.”  Here, story itself becomes the very place that works against nostalgia, autobiography, the reification of memory in all its forms. Instead, Kim writes the void-pivot of “a plot without faith.” By evoking a space that can’t be catalogued or recuperated by conventional means, Kim is able to develop her work in the axial space of duration, performance and the extreme poetry that accompanies the “revisions” [deletions, mutations] of both these scripts. 

Gospel of Regicide is a brilliant book.  I want to start a trans-global book club to think about it more.  Would you like to join?"
