Thank you Minor Literature[s] for your review of Tuesday or September or The End!

✨ Full Review Link In Bio ✨

"Black’s novella is a meditative retreat into the time/space of the pandemic. There is a strangeness of the months leading up to March 11th 2020, the way in which our memory of those immediate before times became subordinated to the pandemic temporal order, that Black captures."

In celebration of her birthday, May 15th, today we feature Barbara Hammer's Truant Photographs 1970-1979 🌺

Throughout the 1970s, filmmaker Barbara Hammer toured the United States, Africa, and Europe, making film after film about women and the le***an experience, both of which had seldom been seen by a woman, for women on screen before. She made a slew of now-legendary experimental films, including Sisters! (1973), Dyketactics (1974), Multiple Or**sm (1976), Sappho {1978), and Double Strength {1978), more or less inventing le***an cinema at a time when such material had largely been relegated to the pornographic imagination of male artists and filmmakers. During this prolific period, Hammer photographed her travels, her lovers, moments of community and kinship between her collaborators on set, private and public performances, friends, strangers. Through these photographs, Hammer explodes traditional notions of female sexuality by showing it for what it is: complex, messy, abstract, human.

Hannah Black’s reading of the first page of Tuesday or September or The End JANUARY, “Common Time” Presented by the @poetry_project

ANNOUNCING: Tuesday or September or The End by Hannah Black — an incisive and playful work of speculative fiction that explores the rupture year of 2020, when aliens finally invaded. Pre-order is now available on the Capricious online shop. Ships February 2022. Link in bio! Hannah Black (@hannah_black___ ) is an artist and writer from the UK. She lives in New York. She has written for a number of publications including The New Inquiry, Artforum, and Bookforum. Her previous books include Dark Pool Party (2016) and Life (2017, with Juliana Huxtable). She is represented by the galleries Arcadia Missa in London and Isabella Bortolozzi in Berlin. Praise for Tuesday or September or the End: “Tuesday or September or the End puts calendar time back into messianic time, and also the reverse. An account of a disorienting year in history, in our lives, this intimate and funny and abstract fiction uses fable, and unreality, to flood a reader with the real, to remind her what is at stake.” — Rachel Kushner “Allegory and satire, alert and conscious, Hannah Black’s Tuesday or September or the End, is an existential novel. Narrative innocence is not the engine of this work; knowledge of life in the modern is. Bird and Dog, Black’s wide awake and dreaming characters, are electric and wise. This novel is fluent in our dystopia and utopia.” — Dionne Brand “An acid calendar of planetary rot and revolt, Hannah Black’s new novel listens for that alien language of the future: total social transformation. Staging debates on communism and social democracy, or unraveling the double helix of race and capitalism, Black’s calendar is one that breathes and breaks, figuring the temporal hiccups of revolution. Suddenly it’s no longer endless winter and our narrator Bird, much like chirping in early spring, brings us to witness the reanimation of the world.” — Greg Nissan
