How do the bodies we inhabit affect our relationship with art? How
does art affect our relationship to our bodies? T Fleischmann uses
Felix Gonzáles-Torres’s artworks—piles of candy, stacks of
paper, puzzles—as a path through questions of love and loss,
violence and rejuvenation, gender and sexuality. From the back
porches of Buffalo, to the galleries of New York and L.A., to
farmhouses of rural Tennessee, the artworks act as still points,
sites for reflection situated in lived experience. Fleischmann
combines serious engagement with warmth and clarity of prose,
reveling in the experiences and pleasures of art and the body,
identity and community.
Reminiscent of Edmund White's Nocturne for the King of Naples
Fleischmann has had notable essays in Best American Essays 2009 and
2010 Author is a nonfiction editor for DIAGRAM and deeply plugged
into the lyric essay world Appeals to the same audience as Maggie
Nelson's celebrated Bluets and features a very enthusiastic blurb
from her (there's already bookseller excitement about this)
Fleischmann may be picked up for a column on Bookslut, which is an
ideal venue for bringing broader attention to his facility for the
kind of smart, plainspoken criticism in Syzygy The book represents
Sarabande's ongoing commitment to developing a creative nonfiction
list of depth, innovation, and energy not found anywhere else
