Radically imaginative and intense, challenging language to be slow
and fast, soft and hard, drunk and sober, What Are You performs its
own destruction and recreation.  Hypnotic, dreamlike,
lyrical essays tell the story of a woman trapped in a destructive
love affair with the universe. Her understanding of power, desire,
and complicity must be transformed again and again. Addressed to an
amorphous you, Lerman wrestles with the forces of birth and death,
creation and destruction—going deep into the subterranean strata
of consciousness and back. EXCERPT“You exist in an endless series
of iterations. You keep spinning out and out and out. Sometimes you
take the form of a person and people, but you don’t stop there.
You are the places where people go to enact every hidden, silent
fantasy—the cruelty and the beauty too—and you are the
fantasies themselves, and the economies that shape and regulate
them. In my dreams I never fly, but I do breathe underwater.”
