s FC2 publisher, Curtis White guards the avant-garde, and writes twisted books which are also brilliant, such as Metaphysics in the Midwest and Memories of My Father Watching TV. He does things like imagine his personal and political life as lived inside a television set that is also the battleground in which one grows up absurd. We’re not sure what he thinks of The Unknown. He teaches Henry James and Ricouer and Derrida. He’s a great guy, who lives in an orphanage at the retired VA facility (The Old Soldiers and Sailors Home)—which is under constant restoration. In Normal, Illinois. He’s saving American literature. Read his books.
