Jehanne Dubrow
このコンテンツについて
What happens when beauty intersects with horror? In her newest nonfiction collection, Jehanne Dubrow interrogates the ethical questions that arise when we aestheticize atrocity. The daughter of US diplomats, she weaves memories of growing up overseas among narratives centered on art objects created while working under oppressive regimes.
Ultimately, Exhibitions is a collection concerned with how art both evinces and elicits emotion and memory and how, through the making and viewing of art, we are—for better or for worse—changed.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Jehanne Dubrow is the author of nine poetry collections, including The Arranged Marriage: Poems (UNM Press), and two books of creative nonfiction. She is a professor of creative writing at the University of North Texas.
批評家のレビュー
"Exhibitions is a fantastic book--both smart and inviting, intimate and outward-looking, creative and critical. It's the best of all worlds in an essay collection, and one I will return to again and again."—Randon Billings Noble, author of Be with Me Always: Essays
"These ekphrastic essays do more than extoll beauty or privilege erudition. They insist that art, in all its forms, acts as the ballast against the pain of human cruelty and folly, against the vagaries of time."—Hasanthika Sirisena, author of Dark Tourist: Essays
"Exhibitions unsettles art and its purchase. In tautly interlinking essays, Dubrow describes what is unseen, overlooked, or dismissed, and she refuses to look away."—Spring Ulmer, author of Bestiality of the Involved
"Told in precise and dreamy detail, Exhibitions portrays truths—the vivid memory, the unexpected detail, the unforgettable word—with the clarity of glass before it breaks."—Alexander Nemerov, author of Fierce Poise: Helen Frankenthaler and 1950s New York
