Loose Corpse Kenji Siratori

"With Loose Corpse, Kenji Siratori glitches the entire ethos of the zombie narrative. However, the reanimated corpses found here are not those of the risen dead. Instead, Siratori razes to the ground syntax and semantics while raising the whole corpus of language. Here language jitters, glitches, disassembles, and swarms. A language of flies. Amassing and reassembling across the page without affect or intention, Loose Corpse is humanity losing the literary corpus and, along with it, the very foundations of meaning. Unlike the reanimated bodies of the dead, bumbling slowly down the street, appearing in streaming franchise after franchise, Siratori's reanimated graphemic corpus resists the capture of neoliberalism with absolute ferocity. Without pausing to grant us time to grieve total loss of meaning, Loose Corpse processually gnaws eternally on the very substratum of Being." - Andrew C. Wenaus
