Chronology
Chronology | Zahra Patterson
1 post | 1 to read
Literary Nonfiction. Essay. Taking as its starting point an ultimately failed attempt to translate a Sesotho short story into English, CHRONOLOGY explores the spaces language occupies in relationships, colonial history, and our postcolonial past. It is a collage of images and documents, folding on words-that-follow-no-chronology, unveiling layers of meaning of queering love, friendship, death, and power. Traveling from Cape Town to the Schomburg Center in New York, Zahra Patterson's CHRONOLOGY reveals and revels in fragments of the past-personal and the present-political.

I hadn‘t heard anything about this before seeing it on the Lammys award list. It looks really interesting and seems to address similar issues as Dionne Brand‘s 2019 Kreisel Lecture, An Autobiography of the Autobiography of Reading (not yet available in published form). #LGBTQ
