- Essays represents a decade of work with the ‘essay’ form. Composed of interlocking scenes, extended analyses, fictocritical excursions and ‘forays’, the book argues that there is no ‘object’ of theatre writing, but that writing is translational, imbricated in the act of writing, and so in the writer, her environment, and her time. This reconfigures how we understand the relationship between form and content, and the time of composition, in critical prose. The book draws on a substantial multilingual repertoire of philosophical, literary, psychological, autoethnographic, and art historical works and archives to unsuture the grammars of representation and logics of genre.
