The House That Hijack Built
Publisher: Talonbooks
Vancouver, BC
2004, 128 pages
With color collages, ironic war mongering subterfuge and
Kabbalistic translations, The House That Hijack Built is
an astonishing display of meaning production when language is
pushed to the "limits" of logical or normative semantic
patterns.
“A tour de force where language is continuously hijacked" and
transported to provocative and deliciously unexpected
destinations.
"Karasick's writing is an extraordinary tour de force in the new
paraliterary initiative of `fiction/theory' that blends various
genres and revels in their `contamination'”
—Canadian Book Review Annual
"electricity in language"
—Nicole Brossard
