Glossolaris

Many of the books on your shelves have been important. They have been cited, engaged with and discussed. But there are some that remain more ambiguous in their contribution. Inspired by Gilles Deleuze and Michel Foucaultʼs technique of ʻdiagonal readingʼ and taking Stanislaw Lemʼs Solaris as narrative context, Glossolaris proposes a procedure for writing. The procedure draws marginal research sources more firmly into work. Scenarios for a new book emerge. They do so like phenomena witnessed on the surface of a remote planet. The new book will not be written, the scenarios will exist as a plan.
