Fall 2009: Theoretical Killings, by Steven Church

If we're going to creolize, which is what we need, we better start with genre. Steve Church has made some fancy leaps forward in this dedication to thought and pleasure, wherever it might come from. Read him, you'll come out speaking in (measured) tongues.
—Andrei Codrescu, author of The Posthuman Dada Guide: Tzara and Lenin Play Chess (Princeton University Press)

In Theoretical Killings, Steven Church tosses a cupboard full of genres into his own literary blender to create a unique collection of . . . Essays? Short stories? Plays? Epistles? Don't waste your time trying to figure it out. It doesn't matter. What matters is that Church is getting at truths in a way that is wry, clever, twisted, and sneakily poignant. But be forewarned: this is not necessarily a work where truth equals fact. Instead, Theoretical Killings puts forth the following equation: truth + narrative + unity - expectation = the essence of experience.
--Adam Braver, author of November 22, 1963 and Mr. Lincoln's Wars
