Event description
PERIPATHETIC: "WINTER OF OUR DISCONTENT" BOOK TOUR (NGUNNAWAL/NGAMBRI)
Come celebrate the launch of Cher Tan's newly released essay collection Peripathetic: Notes on (Un)belonging.
Peripathetic is about shit jobs. About being who you are and who you aren’t online. About knowing a language four times. About living on the interstices. About thievery. About wanting. About the hyperreal. About weirdness.
Cher Tan’s essays are as non-linear as her life, as she travels across borders that are simultaneously tightening and blurring. In luminous and inventive prose, they look beyond the performance of everyday life, seeking answers that continually elude.
Paying homage to the many outsider artists, punks, drop-outs and rogue philosophers who came before, this book is about the resistance of orthodoxies — even when it feels impossible.
