More DescriptionIn twenty-first century America, there is so much that holds or demands our attention without requiring it. Imagine the lecture as a radical opening. In an imaginative new work by Mary Cappello, Lecture explores the history and the forgotten art of the lecture, that "non-genre that allows for untoward movement, apposition, and assemblage, that is one part conundrum, one part accident." Blending rigorous cultural criticism with personal history, Cappello's own book-length lecture brims with energy and erudition. Lecture complicates, queers, and gives new life to knowledge's dramatic form. Lecture is part of the Undelivered Lectures series from Transit Books.
