What Is Junk Space?

"Junk space is in the essay as a condition and an experience, and it's inherently a reading of that condition through Cool House's own subjectivity" "The uncanny experience of junk space is discovered through the failure of this attempt to interpret it. He's constantly trying to apply a certain set of conceptual tools to the spaces which he's passing through and finding that they fail or produce really weird results." 'I think we have to take people in so that they have a sort of mental image of what it is before we start to explore it further' The book will be published by Verso on September 25 at £16.99.
