The Happy Hypocrite / What Am I?, issue 5

Garbed in a sequence of paradigmatic structures such as the joke, the notebook, the novel and the script, this issue´s range of contributions defy the innate obsolescence of classification through their embrace of poetic analysis. Drawing theme and method from a new translation of Roland Barthes´ notes for a lecture course The Preparation of the Novel, which starts ´...as if I was going to write one´, What Am I? is not quite what it looks, but we´ve decided to publish anyway.

Contributors include Shumon Basar, Kate Briggs, George Clark, Ruth Ewan, Beatrice Gibson, Antonia Hirsch, Chris Kraus, Hanne Lippard, and a reprint from The Plebs, Seth Price, Laure Prouvost, Stephen Sutcliffe and Sarah Tripp.
