To Write as If Already Dead by Kate Zambreno

5.0

A novella of the loss of self, both intentional and not, and the struggle to write through the realization of one's own mortality. Zambreno's weaving in of her own daily ephemera, Guibert, Foucault, the AIDs epidemic, and our more recent plague is masterful. However, it was the first thing I've read about the pandemic, and I am not sure I was ready for it, to read all of our mistakes so soon.
