- Description or summary of the audiobook: Past compunction, expressly unbeholden, these twenty-four single-subject essays train focus on a startling miscellany of topics Foot Washing, Dossiers, Br er Rabbit, Housesitting, Man Roulette, the Locus Amoenus that begin to unpack the essayist himself and his life s rotating concerns: sex and sexuality, poetry and poetics, subject positions in American labor (not excluding academia), and his upbringing in working-class, Primitive Baptist, central-piedmont North Carolina. In Proxies an original constraint, a total suppression of recourse to authoritative sources, engineers Brian Blanchfield s disarming mode of independent intellection. The repeatable experiment to draw only from what he knows, estimates, remembers, and misremembers about the subject at hand often opens onto an unusually candid assessment of self and situation.
