This eponymous publication brings together an extended version of the exhibition text, pieces performed at readings, and scripts that were intended to provide the basis for a video work but never developed as such, along with new drawings and installation views. Exploring the narrative potential of broken sculptures for still life paintings, or of a barista's working day for a dragonheavy draft of fantasy, the texts give a keyed-up voice to an aging hipster-self, realizing that other forces grew in the dark while they were busy hurting, healing, and climbing. The material shares a fumbling approach to fiction and non-fiction, presenting an honest but humorous portrayal of the tension between the outside world and the inner life of a person and an artist in particular. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCopublished by Simian.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Wächtler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1915609747\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781915609748\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sternberg Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/04\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs","brand":"Peter Wächtler","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48447121195263,"sku":"9781915609748","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_88581bf3-a06f-4354-9d22-662e6e9a5223.jpg?v=1777228965","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/crackers-peter-wzochtler-9781915609748","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
