Description
Radically imaginative and intense, challenging language to be slow and fast, soft and hard, drunk and sober, What Are You performs its own destruction and recreation.
Hypnotic, dreamlike, lyrical essays tell the story of a woman trapped in a destructive love affair with the universe. Her understanding of power, desire, and complicity must be transformed again and again. Addressed to an amorphous you, Lerman wrestles with the forces of birth and death, creation and destruction-going deep into the subterranean strata of consciousness and back.

Reviews
"An incantatory and hypnotic work of voice, What Are You exists at the apex of creation and destruction, desire and shame, innocence and experience, violence and tenderness, rapture and suffering, hunger and the denial of flesh. To read it is to feel the terror of falling from a great height-but wanting to; maybe even choosing to jump." - Sarah Gerard, author of Sunshine State and True Love"Lindsay Lerman is brilliant. This book manages to be fiercely direct and enigmatic at the same time. It hit me the way Duras, Zambreno, and Lispector do." -Nate Lippens, author of My Dead Book"Lerman isn't content to just return the male gaze here. She dazzles it blind." -Heavy Feather Review"This book had me hypnotized. It's raw and and rigorous and sexy and relentless and completely on fire."
