Identifier: CC-41498-43485
Scope and Contents

This innovative text and image book is based on "'Flatland" by Edwin Abbott. "Utilizing a wide and historical sweep of represenations of the body, from pedigree charts to genetic sequences, this hybrid imagetext novel recounts how differing ways of imagining the body generate differing stories of knowledge, power, history, gender, politics, art, and of course, the literature of who we are." Marjorie Perloff describes this extraordinary book as a "novel - or is it a film script? collage art work? philosopical meditation?...Tomasula's dissection of post-biological life is about the new interaction of bodies and DNA possibilities." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
