In this daring second edition of his celebrated cross-genre \u003ci\u003eA and B and Also Nothing\u003c\/i\u003e, Chris Campanioni reads and recasts his own life through the works of Henry James and Gertrude Stein. He does so with an amalgam of annotations, observations, aphorisms, and asides, dissolving the boundaries between journal and novel, autobiography and fiction. Then, he goes further, imagining several other books inside this one, including an exploration of the ways in which migrant illegality has been fabricated and shaped since -- and how this informs a critical evaluation of technology's role in capturing and containing bodies in life and text. It is the interplay of the real, the not real, and the not yet real that propels \u003ci\u003eA and B and Also Nothing\u003c\/i\u003e toward a fresh blueprint for American identity -- all captured through a notebook poetics that centers copying, collection, and recollection as primary creative acts. \u003ci\u003eA and B and Also Nothing\u003c\/i\u003e -- now with a new coda and photographs by the author -- is a call and response to the avant-garde, an attendance to the community of BIPOC writers who have often been overlooked despite their meaningful influence on American culture. In Campanioni's fluid, lyrical sequences, the vital roles of migration, dislocation, and exile in America's literary and intellectual genealogy get restored.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chris Campanioni\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8987019926\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798987019924\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Unbound Edition Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/11\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.57h x 5.12w x 0.59d","brand":"Chris Campanioni","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44321329676543,"sku":"9798987019924","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a9f926fb-c0b9-410e-81a9-b0bc8b8ba7cd.jpg?v=1696330335","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-and-b-and-also-chris-campanioni-9798987019924","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
