Joss Lake will present their work on Primer. Primer is a novel in which the narrator has to learn how to tell his own story, in spite of the seductive tales surrounding him. Drawing from an ongoing journaling process, the novel 2666, gender transition, and the open skies one sees while walking, the novel seeks to rehabilitate its protagonist, who has spent many years in exile from himself.
Joss Lake is a novelist interested in expanding the form by de/re-stabilizing gender, time, and the boundaries between the self and other. The artist has completed a novel, Leon: A Romance, in which the narrator falls in love in revolutionary Cairo and contends with a family legacy of dropping into other peoples memories. The artist completed an MFA in fiction at Columbia University and serves as Senior Editor of Conjunctions, a journal of innovative writing published by Bard College. Lake has been in residence at Art Farm in Marquette, Nebraska, and currently lives in Queens, NY.
