Summary
Decreation: Undoing the Self
A stunning new collection from Anne Carson, contemplating ‘decreation’ - an undoing of self, inspired by Simone Weil. How can we undo self without moving through self?
Carson’s collection starts with the undoing of form itself. Through opera libretto, screenplay, poem, oratorio, essay, list, and montage, she explores this concept with a tender touch.
Exhilarating and bewildering, lucid and hermetic, Carson subverts literary conventions and takes risks.
