Party Trap

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

PARTY TRAP is a play written entirely in palindromic form. Each line in the first half of the play is mirrored in the second half, creating a mind-bending story about media and politics in a post-truth age. A journalist and a politician clash during a live TV interview. What begins as a normal television programme quickly unravels into a waking nightmare. A trap has been set: can either side escape it? Includes introductory essay by the author. "Sutherland's sheer skill means he's pulled off something unparalleled. It's a proper play, and a proper palindrome, with theme reflected in form reflected in theme." - TIME OUT

Autorenporträt

"At first glance, you might think that this entire book is a joke - more a parody of a writing journal than something to be tackled in earnest. And... well, yes, a lot of these exercises are ridiculous. They're over-specific, petulant, contradictory. If you want to describe them as parodies of writing advice, I'm pretty comfortable with that. However! In addition to being parodies, I mean every single one of them sincerely. I genuinely believe every single one of these exercises can teach us something about ourselves, about our relationship to language." - Ross Sutherland, Introduction
