Description

Zither & AutobiographyZither & Autobiography is comprised of two parts: the author's autobiography and a book length poem entitled "Zither." Both parts of the book are concerned with facts and their undoing. In Autobiography, Scalapino explores her shifting memories of childhood especially of years spent in Asia experimenting with the memoir form to explore how a view of one's own life develops, how "fixed memories move as illusion." Zither opens with a unique narrative

Zither & Autobiography is comprised of two parts: the author's autobiography and a book-length poem entitled "Zither." Both parts of the book are concerned with facts and their undoing. In Autobiography, Scalapino explores her shifting memories of childhood--especially of years spent in Asia--experimenting with the memoir form to explore how a view of one's own life develops, how "fixed memories move as illusion."

Zither opens with a unique narrative that the author describes as "samurai film as Classic Comic of Shakespeare's King Lear (without using any of Shakespeare's language, characters or plot)." Creating a complex spatial soundscape, the poem works formally to allow continual change of one's conceptions while reading. The juxtaposition of the two parts and the connection between them is "the anarchist moment...disjunction itself," a key concept in much of Scalapino's work. This vivid book reveals in every thought-sparking section just why Scalapino has been hailed by Library Journal as "one of the most unique and powerful writers at the forefront of American literature."

It works
Size: 6.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Well this product works. At first I thought maybe the Caribbean sun wasn’t as bad as people said since I was in the sun for 4 days wearing this sunscreen and hardly had tan lines, then I tested my theory for 1 day with another brand and got a sunburn. I took star off (would really only do a half if it allowed) for when you go in the water or if you sweat there is a bit of white residue that it leaves. But for sun purposes, if you want protection, I highly recommend.

A must have for superior sun protection!

Neutrogena Beach Defense SPF 50 is an absolute game-changer when it comes to sun protection. Whether you're relaxing at the beach, swimming, or enjoying an outdoor adventure, this sunscreen provides broad-spectrum protection that effectively shields the skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays. One of its standout features is its lightweight texture, it glides effortlessly onto the skin without feeling greasy or heavy. Unlike some sunscreens that leave a sticky residue, Beach Defense absorbs quickly and smoothly, making it ideal for both face and body application. Another major plus? Water resistance! This formula stays put, even after swimming or sweating, ensuring continuous protection throughout the day. And despite its strong defense against the sun, it feels refreshing and comfortable on the skin, making reapplication a breeze. I used it during a vacation in the Dominican Republic, and me and my family enjoyed it. My 5 years old girl has been protected from the sun all the time. If you're looking for reliable, effective, and easy-to-use sun protection, this sunscreen is an excellent choice. Highly recommended! ☀️👌
