A PHILOSOPHICAL AUTOFICTION - SPENCER GOLUB GEB...

This is a book about what becomes of the truth when it succumbs to generational memory loss and
to the fictions that intervene to cause and fill the gaps. It is a book about the impossibility
of writing an autobiography when there is a prepossessing cultural and familial 'we'
interfering with the 'I' and an 'I' that does not know itself as a self  except metastatically
¿ as people and characters it has played but not actually been. A highly original combination
of close readings and performative autobiography  this book takes performance philosophy to an
alternative next step  by having its ideas read back to it by experience  and through assorted
fictions. It is a philosophical thought experiment in uncertainty whose literary  theatrical 
and cinematic trappings illustrate and finally become what this uncertainty is  the thought
experiment having become the life that was  that came before  and that outlives the 'I am'.
