New Documents is pleased to announce the availability of Give Up Art, a collection of critical writing by author Maria Fusco. $30 w/ Free Shipping https://new-documents.org/17... Advance Praise for the Book: Maria Fusco’s verbs quiver. Some call this art. Whether white cube or popular, deadpan or slapstick, Fusco’s scintillating mobility invites us to savour a new kind of critical empathy. (Lisa Robertson) After a book like this, most nonfiction seems curiously unaware of what writing can be. (James Elkins)
