A PRANK OF GEORGES
“In A Prank of Georges, Abigail Lang & Thalia Field create a dazzling set of variations in, about, and around lines from Gertrude Stein. Stein’s lines become threads with which Lang & Field weave a text heterolingual and ludic, in which the play of names becomes a matter of meaning’s performing. The question here is not ‘what the poem says,’ but how it keeps on keeps on saying.”

Point and Line
