We have read Proust but were not sure
Who has really read Proust
Besides a few Proustians
We are no Proustians
Despite not being anti-Proustian…
Speak / Stop comprises two interrelated texts: a chorus of unidentified voices followed by a work of literary criticism that only Nomi Lefebvre could writea semiotic fever dream that weighs meaning and meaning-making against idea and ideology.
Abstracted, irreverent, and full of biting satire, Lefebvre picks apart hypocrisies in our lives and the language of our lives, skewering our literary pieties before delving headfirst into the paradox of self-criticism. Working against conventional notions of genre and form, Speak / Stop is a madhouse of earthworm sentences interrogating concerns of class and taste, ease, and inclusion/exclusion that are the foundations of Lefebvres work.
We like Proust a lot, but do we know him?
We enjoy literature
And enjoy enjoying it
Indeed we aspire to a degree of culture
Which we also enjoy
For we do have some
