Printed in the colours of flesh and blood vessels, VAS: An Opera in Flatland —a hybrid image-text novel—demonstrates just how differing means of imagining your body generate diverse tales of background, gender, politics, and, ultimately, the literature of who also all of us are.
A constantly unexpected, VAS combines a number of voices, from journalism and libretto to poem and comic reserve. Employing a wide and historic sweep of representations of the body—from pedigree charts to genetic sequences— VAS is usually, finally, the tale of finding one’s identification within the dual helix of vocabulary and lineage. Frequently these voices satisfy in counterpoint, and this is of the narrative emerges from their juxtapositions, harmonies, or discords.
