Melissa Broder—
Like its predecessor, HEATH (plagiarism/outsource), HEATH COURSE PAK exists somewhere between a Project Gutenberg version of Samuel Pepys’ Diary and a minute-to-minute news feed and blog of Heath Ledger’s death. Sad, appropriated, lyrical and confused, the book contains a brief history of recent performance art, a legal defense of plagiarism, the diary of a poetry workshop at the Asian American Writer’s Workshop, an MP3 protest song, and an examination of SMS and GMS technologies as distribution networks for human sadness. Multi-authored, and with numerous text blocks and photos, HEATH COURSE PAK adds a multivalent commentary to its first edition, once again in full color.
Tan Lin is the shit. I support any support for him.
