Vice is a construction of many strong thoughts, things set in place without blocking what is there to see. I feel exhilarated by thinking things out in the ways that Carla Harryman has discovered. It is, perhaps, paradoxical to call a new book fundamental, but for me this book is.

About Carla Harryman's writing:

This writing does not employ judgement to arrive at truth, and so one does not feel that the world is being edited in this writing but rather enlarged by the invention and even more so the exploration of new prespectives...I always want to read her writing.
