The memory of this friendship becomes a model for how we might relate to others in sympathy, solidarity and rebellion. At once intimate and expansive, Anwen Crawford's book-length essay explores loss in many forms: disappeared artworks, effaced histories, abandoned futures.From the turmoil of grief and the solace of memory, her perspective embraces histories of protest and revolution, art-making and cinema, border policing, and especially our relationships with animals. No Document shows how love and resistance echo through time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnwen Crawford is best known for her writing as a critic, but hereshe draws on her background as a zine-maker and visual artist, and her training in poetry, to develop a new way of writing about the past, using a symphonic method of composition and collage. No Document is an urgent, groundbreaking work of non-fiction that reimagines the boundaries that divide us  as people, nations and species  and asks how we can create forms of solidarity that endure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e'In this arresting book, Anwen Crawford reckons with the death of a close friend and comrade. Seeking a language suitable for grief, Crawford stitches together material from a wide range of sources in a poetic and allusive manner reminiscent of Susan Howe or perhaps a miniature Arcades Project. But this is no insular work of autobiography... A deeply moving anatomy of personal and political melancholy, No Document speaks as directly to the dead as it does to its reader.' - Joshua Barnes, Books+Publishing\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Anwen Crawford","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":43175059325171,"sku":"9781925818611","price":29.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/4284\/5939\/products\/anwen-crawford_no-document_9781925818611.jpg?v=1662070065","url":"https:\/\/www.harryhartog.com.au\/products\/no-document-anwen-crawford-9781925818611","provider":"Harry Hartog Bookseller","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
