Presentation of Dora Garcia's book, Mad Marginal Cahier #4,  I See Words, I Hear Voices

The book will be launched at the Westmount Library on Wednesday, September 16, on the occasion of a group reading of James Joyce’s Finnegans Wake organized by Bloomsday, a Montreal organization devoted to Joyce’s works. The event is inspired by García’s film The Joycean Society, which features a reading by the Zurich society. An excerpt of the film will be screened.

Mad Marginal Cahier # 4: I See Words, I Hear Voices, edited by Chantal Pontbriand, brings together essays by international authors who comment on different aspects of García’s research. She explores “minor” literature, “exploded” language, and the unconscious, specifically through the figures of James Joyce and Robert Walser, as well as the notion of exile within art practices. More recently, she has become interested in people who hear voices and have extra-sensory perceptions. The Mad Marginal Charts mark her progress through a cycle of exhibitions mounted in 2014 and 2015, of which the first took place at the Fonderie Darling (Autour des crimes et des rêves/Of Crimes and Dreams) in 2014, followed by exhibitions in Amsterdam, Hamburg, Madrid, Moss, and Buenos Aires. The final one, which bears the same title as the book, will open at The Power Plant on September 25. Pontbriand is curator of the exhibitions in Montreal and Toronto.
