Jacob Wren

For what its worth, I finished this book in the hospital during my partners 48-hour labour. Even if Id read it in more prosaic circumstances, though, I dont think Id forget it. Jacob Wren is an endlessly fascinating individual: no writer I can think of is so sincere in their pursuit of questions about the value of art and its relation to life. Like most of his writing, Polyamorous Love Song straddles the boundary between essay and fiction, art and literature (Wren is also active as a performance artist). He asks himself difficult questions about why we make art and what we hope it can do while also offering a rollicking, sometimes absurdist sci-fi adventure featuring an organization of terrorists in mascot costumes and a virus that only kills political reactionaries. Its a book that defies boundaries and categorization: Wrens art is total or not at all.
