What to expect
As formally inventive as readers have come to expect from one of the most daring writers around, and as wild and tricky as its subject matter requires,
Goblinhood: Goblin as a Mode presents us with a series of essays and poems that playfully, artfully propound Jen Calleja's theory of 'goblinhood'——a theory that takes in all aspects of pop culture from film, tv, literature and art as well as the author's personal and original examinations of grief, lust, family histories and the physical fact of living in the world as it is.
Goblinhood is a perpetually and variously curious, visceral addition to Calleja's remarkable oeuvre.
