The genre-defying genius of
Saturation Project
brings memoir and essay
to the land of myth. Here, the wildness of what we experience, that
which cannot be controlled but controls nonetheless, finds expression
through etherealizing and visceral saturations of the body: a feral,
humming, windswept girlhood mapped with uncharted
brilliance.--Claudia Rankine
Christine
Hume tells of that hum neither utterance nor song that is so inside
us and that hum that is everywhere in crowds, in industry, in nature.
She tells of wind, unconstrained force, in which we exist, stand and
advance. A child, lost or abandoned, is nurtured by a bear in Greece,
in India, in Azerbaijan, in Champagne, in Kansas. Christine Hume
tells her daughter she is that child, and she sees her daughter being
nurtured by another species. So many profound and surface things
Christine Hume brings close to us with her so crystal words so
luminous with thought.--Alphonso Lingis
