The group goes anyway, though everything has changed; other organizations show too. Some still in their bedclothes, which they must have been wearing when they heard the news. We have to keep moving—that’s what the media says. But our plan to protest globalization in a coherent circle around the towers is ineffectual without the towers, which were destroyed earlier today. So we’re all skipping to part II of the plan: post-op assessment.
--Renee Gladman, The Activist
Renee Gladman is the author most recently of The Activist (Krupskaya). The Activist begins in the middle of a revolution and it touchingly illustrates that relations between humans and cities are linked in a more complex interface than most realize. The book is full of entrances and exits, alternate routes and incommensurate geographies. The Activist does not analyze or explain the hopeful desires of protest at the turn of the century, but it does enable us to see them differently.
She is also the author Juice (Kelsey Street) and she has edited the Leroy Chapbook Series, and has recently launched Leon Works, a perfect-bound press for experimental prose.
