"SPRAWL in fact does not sprawl at all; rather, it radiates with
control and fresh, strange reflection." -Bookforum "Reads as if
Gertrude Stein channeled Alice B. Toklas writing an Arcades Project
set in contemporary suburbia." -The Believer When Danielle Dutton's
SPRAWL first broke upon the world in 2010, critics likened it to
collage, a poetics of the suburbs, a literal unpacking of et
cetera. This updated edition, with a new afterword by Renee
Gladman, reopens the space of SPRAWL's "fierce, careful
composition"-as Bookforum wrote-"which changes the ordinary into
the wonderful and odd." Today I fell asleep in the tall grass near
the old train station. It was a complete picture. A fashionable
park. Yet the picture had its sordid and selfish aspect. I can't
seem to say what I mean, Mrs. Barbauld, but with some urgency I
mean to inform you what a triumph the big city has become. I am a
secular individual but even I can feel the shift in the horizon
utterly alien to the constitution of things, the habitual.
Sincerely, etc. I move in shade on the edge of a parking lot under
walnut trees in the early morning around the edge of a curve in an
accidental manner. I walk the sidewalk and ripple the surface of
it. From this condition I have a view of the world. Danielle Dutton
is the author of Margaret the First, SPRAWL, and Attempts at a
Life. Her writing has also appeared or is forthcoming in The Paris
Review, Harper's, The White Review, Fence, BOMB, and others. She is
on the faculty of the writing program at Washington University in
St. Louis and is co-founder and editor of the feminist press
Dorothy, a publishing project.
