WE DON’T LIVE HERE ANYMORE
TARREN JOHNSON
$30.00
Giselle’s Books
120 pages, paperback
9782959831201
I had the privilege of working with Tarren earlier this year and learned so much from here about language as something kind of ornamental or decorative, or how it might behave as a posture or furniture. This book feels like it has just walked in the door, or just about to leave, a textual architecture of passages through rooms and people; “the tension between private longing and public expression.”
Beautifully designed by Joel Cocks, it’s like the perfect pocket book and recalls the uniformity of French literature publishing and residual imagery that organises our lives. We Don’t Live Here Anymore made me think a lot about the book itself as a symbol or accessory, as something increasingly more or less than the ideas it contains, in our contemporary context.
