Abstract
dc:description.abstractGhosts animate the stories and essays of this collection in ways both bodied and disembodied—as loops, as refrains, as stories that can’t be outrun. Moving across time and space to consider collective memory in Cambodia, the language of schizophrenia, and the reverberations of violence, each piece circles the unsayable: the strange and uncanny forces it exerts on our daily lives and the ways we are possessed by the things we cannot say. If we are all captive to language, to narrative, this collection considers whether and how we disrupt our own stories, how we construct and deconstruct ourselves as we go, and the places where our stories collide.
