by Corless-Smith Martin (Author)
NOTA is part travelogue and part philosophical examination. Corless-Smith makes a compendium: layers of reference, of history, of text over text over text. Invented and real figures watch over the Self in crisis, the Self in epiphanies of clarity, pleasure, disgust, self-disgust, and inquiry; a Self whose inclusive scope admits to a history beyond the moment of consumption.
