My particular brand of mental illness has one manifestation, in an acute awareness of each passing second, time accumulating and disintegrating into spent meaninglessness as units become exponents, gaining in detachment as I age and the acuteness sharpens.

Skillfully crafted cut-up text that covers a wide range during it’s short span. Personally prefer the more elaborate Granite City Blues. This still sucks you right in and doesn’t shy away from targeting it’s own demographic.

Josh Peterson’s Missing is a cut up of divergent texts like police reports, self help homilies and rice cooking instructions, all collaged together in a portrait of the US lumpenproletariat.

Exceptional. Incredibly challenging text but only takes a few pages to get into; an intensely reactionary text but filtered through the lens of an intensely intelligent artist; interested largely in structure, thinking, the news, uninterested in anything between the covers. 💥
