Opis
Originally published in America in 2006, and out of print for the last seven years, Incubation: a space for monsters is a formally innovative, hybrid-genre book that incorporates poetry and prose. Set in a shifting narrative environment, where human bodies, characters, and text are neither one thing nor another, this fragmentary-diaristic text journeys through the spaces in-between. Following protagonist Laloo-Cyborg, girl, mother, child, immigrant, settler-on a roadtrip through American landscapes, genre styles, and form, Incubation creates radical space for what is 'monstrous'. In this document there is a celebration in the cobbling together of lives; global in scope, with an intimate focus on interior voice, this landmark text evidences the early innovations and talents of this T.S. Eliot prizewinning author.
'I read everything Kapil writes and each time am left in awe at her erudite dexterity to see the book, not as a medium of mere knowing, but of questing. Here she casts the dialectical inquiry between continuity and rupture, deploying cyborgs and monsters to overlay and amplify existential questions for the Anthropocene. The result is an ambitious work of complex yet coherent semiotic prowess I can't wait to teach from.' - Ocean Vuong
'Incubation: A Space for Monsters is a transnational love song, an avowal for immigrants, monsters, and girls everywhere.' - Emgee Dufresne
'a feminist, post-colonial On the Road.' - Douglas A. Martin
'This itinerant book, which has now travelled back to the UK, continues a trajectory established by G. V. Desani's All About H. Hatterr. Part autofiction, part cyborgian existentialism, each sentence cuts through the coloniser's cheek, revealing its rotten tongue's hallucination of 'others' as 'monsters'. Can we reclaim our monster-hood? Is that possible for those of us who have to daily stomach 'great replacement' theories and other such tutti and pishaav? We may not find answers, but we will find a red vengeance at the precise moment where a snarl and a laugh become indistinguishable. We may also meet Laloo, the epistolary idiot - the apostrophe, the reader - whose whimsical worldliness disavows monocultural ghettoes and brings the conversation this book initiates towards what Walter Benjamin would call 'the tradition of the oppressed'. Bhanu Kapil, renowned as a poet, has incubated for such a long time that great monster: the novel. What a gift this book is! And after all this time, on its own odyssey: it still reads with such fresh air.' - Azad Ashim Sharma
