DESCRIPTION:
So funny and sharp and smart So funny and sharp and smart. I went back and read all of Browning's earlier books after motoring through "The Gift" twice.. Hell yes! This book is easily on of my favorites of the year. Love the blend of high brow art theory mixed with commentary on social media, communication, etc. A WINNER!
In the midst of Occupy, Barbara Andersen begins spamming people indiscriminately with ukulele covers of sentimental songs. A series of inappropriate intimacies ensues, including an erotically charged correspondence and then collaboration with an extraordinarily gifted and troubled musician living in Germany. She also makes dances, poems, and ukulele cover tunes.. Barbara Browning teaches in the Department of Performance Studies at the Tisch School of the Arts, NYU. She is the author of the novels The Correspondence Artist (winner of a Lambda Literary Award) and I'm Trying to Reach You (short-listed for The Believer Book Award). She received her PhD in Comparative Literature from Yale University
