Publisher's Synopsis
Fiction. Poetry. Maybe I should try to wake up. Maybe I should try and forget about Father Voice-Over. Maybe I should try and look away--but I can't. 'News organizations are setting up temporary stations in the mansion. When do you expect the Black Man to show up, one reporter asks me. I'm wearing a new suit, which was made in China, by a Chinese child listening to a mechanical bird tell them about Art.' Göransson's HAUTE SURVEILLANCE is so riveting, so fiercely imagined, so febrile and alive to the violence of our moment, so passionate--its images unbidden, its narrative a continual surprise. It's a work so filled with invention and wit and ferocity that I was compelled to read it, at times against my will, mesmerized, enthralled.--Carole Maso
