Impossible Stories : On the Space and Time of Black Destructive Creation (New Suns: Race, Gender, and Sexuality in the Speculative)

In new readings of recent and canonical Black creative work within an Afro-pessimistic framework, Murillo excavates how time, space, and Blackness intersect. He takes the fragment as his lens--fragmented bodies, fragments of memories, fragmented texts--to theorize new directions for Back identity and cultural production. In sections on Black (in) time: untimely blackness, the untimely works and worlds of impossible stories, and transmissions from out of nowhere, he considers such topics as black holes and generations, trauma work, elliptical in love dot dot dot, nowheresville, and stanky shrines and hollow bastions.
