Its characters inhabit a classical and cosmological world where psychic phenomena constantly threaten to impinge upon the arc of combat occurring between the women trapped within. Influenced by Friedrich Nietzsche's \u003cem\u003eThe Birth of Tragedy\u003c\/em\u003e, the writings of Plato, the films of Pier Paolo Pasolini, and \u003cem\u003eThe Odyssey\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eORACULE\u003c\/em\u003e approaches self and identity through a fractal, performative lens, subverting Socratic dialogue.

Her previous book, \u003cem\u003ePERFACT \u003c\/em\u003e(Talonbooks, 2019) aimed to coax the immateriality of psychic experience into embodying a muscular, acting physique. Her poetic work invokes a subject within multiplicity, fragmenting time and identity onto a responsive, echoic field. Her writing has appeared in various publications including \u003cem\u003eSocial Text\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eCordite\u003c\/em\u003e, carte blanche, the \u003cem\u003eCapilano Review \u003c\/em\u003eand\u003cem\u003e Volta\u003c\/em\u003e, and has been translated into Swedish and French. http: \/\/nicoleraziyafong.com\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 152\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.39 x 8.9 x 5.91 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 11, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51767946051872,"sku":"9781772013610","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/0c24cd0b7376b043bdb2d8e0f6ae0388.webp?v=1780321175","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/oracule-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
