Description
Book SynopsisThe politics and poetics of language, culture and self all collide in Myung Mi Kim s Dura, a contemporary classic of Asian American and experimental literature, brought back into print by Nightboat Books on the tenth anniversary of its orginal publication. This edition features a preface by Juliana Spahr and an afterword by Stephen Hong Sohn.
Trade ReviewWith the small press titles Under Flag (1992) and The Bounty (1996) Kim astonished readers in the know with passionate, formally investigative cataloguings of colonialism, war and rampant capital in the domestic and public spheres. Building on the achievements of Theresa Hak Kyung Cha and Susan Howe, Kim continues here to engage the reader in re-witnessing this morally arid landscape.-- "Publisher's Weekly"
