Printed in the colors of flesh and blood, "VAS: An Opera in
Flatland"--a hybrid image-text novel--demonstrates how differing
ways of imagining the body generate diverse stories of history,
gender, politics, and, ultimately, the literature of who we are.
A constantly surprising, "VAS" combines a variety of voices, from
journalism and libretto to poem and comic book. Often these voices
meet in counterpoint, and the meaning of the narrative emerges from
their juxtapositions, harmonies, or discords. Utilizing a wide and
historical sweep of representations of the body--from pedigree
charts to genetic sequences--"VAS" is, finally, the story of
finding one's identity within the double helix of language and
lineage.
