Come! Brian’s book is what we need right now - I know I am biased, but truly, this is an epistemic book. It is not only a book about Trump - it is a book about the logics of contemporary fascism. And about ways of moving elsewhere, and otherwise.

Unifying theme: each entry (essay, artwork, intervention) will address how theories of affect respond to this ongoing fascist moment with creative/experimental &/or critical-theoretical approaches to how we endeavor to persist/resist/ insist/exist from the palpable now into the foreseeable future.
