Ascher/Straus; Hank Forest's Party
Series No.: 215
ISBN: 978-193338-247-0, Pages: 342
Hank Forest's Party continues to make ABC Street's tranquilly radical argument for the horizontal storytelling of life as it passes while asking itself fresh questions about time, memory and its own reasons for telling stories as it does. Unlike their previous Green Integer volume, ABC Street, the action of this fiction takes place entirely on ABC Street and the narrative circles the singular event of the title.
The two volumes of this outward-looking autobiography/novel/philosophical journal suggest a dedicated, life-long way of documenting life as fiction.
The authors have opened a channel into the background where the lives and places of the two ABC Street volumes are always forming and re-forming. The entire work, titled Monica's Chronicle, can be found at www.ascher-straus.com.
