Avital Ronell is one of the most provocative, street-savvy, and theoretically sophisticated thinkers of this age. If you've not yet encountered her explosive work (her other books: Dictations, The Telephone Book, Crack Wars, Finitude's Score), Stupidity will most definitely blow you away. And if you are already a die-hard Ronell fan, Stupidity will ... blow you away. (No amount of prep will brace you sufficiently.) Like Ronell's other works, Stupidity offers a kind of post-critical or nonrepresentational analysis, going after a seemingly recognizable and knowable signifier (stupidity) but tracking it so closely that it quickly becomes unrecognizable, exceeding its object-status, overflowing itself as a concept.

Scope and Contents

William Gass contributes an introduction to the collection titled "Anywhere But Kansas" in which he describes the innovative fiction texts as "exploratory." He states that "explorational fiction records an often painful and disappointing journey, possibly of discovery, possibly of empty sailing: yet never toward what may lie out of sight in the self, since that is what improvisation discloses, but of what lies still unappreciated in the landscape of literature - implications unperceived, conclusions undrawn, directions everyone has failed to follow." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
