The Deep Zoo

Rikki Ducornet's essays explore eros, violence, dreams, fairy tales, and art as alchemy-the Deep Zoo at the core of humanity.Within the writer's life, words and things acquire power. For Borges it is the tiger and the color red, for Cortázar a pair of amorous lions, and for an early Egyptian scribe the monarch butterfly that metamorphosed into the Key of Life. Ducornet names these powers The Deep Zoo. Her essays take us from the glorious bestiary of Aloys Zötl to Abu Ghraib, from the tree of life to Sade's Silling Castle, from The Epic of Gilgamesh to virtual reality. Says Ducornet, "To write with the irresistible ink of tigers and the uncaging of our own Deep Zoo, we need to be attentive and fearless-above all very curious-and all at the same time."

Neuware - - Ducornet's work grounds and is the matriarch to a younger generation of edgy, feminist women writers concerned with the body, the erotic, the alchemy of creativity, and art-she is the precursor to Maggie Nelson and others, and should animate their audiences, giving them a new dimension to books they already know and love- Ducornet's essays explore the same territory that grounds her novels, and in similarly lush, carefully drawn prose. Fans of her fiction will find the book engrossing in the same way. - Ducornet has a strong review track record- Ducornet is an internationally exhibited painter and illustrator as well, and there's a great deal of interest here for readers interested in her as a visual artist, as well as readers of visual art criticism- These essay find a place on the CHP list with authors like Kate Bernheimer, Anne Waldman, Selah Saterstrom, Brian Evenson. We have a reputation in the visionary and mythic, and she fits right in- There's a lot of great cultural criticism getting attention right now (see the success of White Girls) but this book speaks to that as well as the need for writing that addresses the why and how of art making, not just the art itself.
