FIELD RAMBLE

GOBLINHOOD

Field Ramble with Jen Calleja

OUT NOW

Goblinhood: Published by Rough Trade

Another gem from the mighty Rough Trade Books on this episode. This time round we hear from the wonderful Jen Calleja on her latest book Goblinhood, a compelling patchwork of pop culture, family histories and poetics that sets out Jen’s theory of ‘goblin’ as a mode.  What at first appears a dizzying and at times disparate array of references soon emerge as a map of behaviours; the false starts, foolish consistencies, safe spaces and new beginnings we all share. Part memoir, part reckoning, Goblinhood is a formally inventive, daring and playful collection of essays,  one that ultimately seeks to identify the forces which make puppets of us all.

Upcoming: What In Me is Dark by Orlando Reade
