A novel that captures the glancing intersections of a loose group
of artists and lawyers, restaurateurs, philosophers, wine-makers,
and boxers. Having dinner at the Triennale, Massimiliano is cooking
Pho. He bought the ingredients a few days ago on his way back from
Vietnam. The building was built in 1933, Malou went there as a
child with Jacqueline, the fascist architecture and the name
Triennale remained. A building named "every three years."
Massimiliano was born on December 6th, the same day as Malou...
-from Vzszhhzz Composed between destinations, in airplanes, trains,
museums, and bars over three years, Jeanne Graff's Vzszhhzz
captures the slight intersections of a loose group of artists and
lawyers, restauranteurs, philosophers, wine-makers and boxers whose
lives are conducted almost entirely in a second language. A loose
chronicle masquerading as a novel, Vszhhzz-like Michele Bernstein's
All The King's Horses, the Bernadette Corporation's Reena
Spaulings, and Natasha Stagg's Surveys-couches Graff's sharp
observations in a laconic and ambient style. By not saying too
much, Vzszhhzz says everything about the relation to time, cities,
weather and smog that has become the lingua franca of a creative
and transient life. "There's an art of writing amidst the energies
and languages of others, and Graff's ear for existential
specificity finds momentum in even the most glancing encounters.
Always on the move, Graff's phototropic texts incline toward human
heat, hallucinating characters upon contact." -John Kelsey
