Throughout the book winds a narrative about a mother and daughter as they move through a world of social and economic collapse in search of a post-capitalist safe haven. All the while, they also navigate a condition that affects the daughter's empathic abilities, making her vulnerable to emotional contagion. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eVexations \u003c\/i\u003eis titled and structured after Erik Satie's composition of the same name, a piece that requires patience, endurance, and concentration from both its audience and its players. Similarly, Gelman's \u003ci\u003eVexations \u003c\/i\u003eemploys repetition and variation to engage the reader's attention. Hers is an ambient poetry, drawing on the aesthetic qualities of drone music and sampling voices and sounds to create a lush literary backdrop filled with pulsing psychedelic detail. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"University of Chicago Press","offers":[{"title":"Vexations | Annelyse Gelman | Paperback | 9780226826110 | Used: Like New | Poetry 1640245","offer_id":50706544001282,"sku":"1640245","price":32.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/61P6ioGPMOL.jpg?v=1791673844","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/vexations","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
