Grant Maierhofer<\/strong>\u2019s new book, Works<\/i><\/a>, is a collection but also something new: It is a conversation between Maierhofer\u2019s early and contemporary writings that shares its title with \u00c9douard Lev\u00e9\u2019s masterful experimental Works<\/i>. It\u2019s a volume containing many books, with new introductions and emendations to make it a definitive and expansive heir to its previous components. Flamingos<\/i>, a novella, chosen by Blake Butler as one of the best books of 2016 for Vice Magazine<\/i>, is the first in a cycle of books Maierhofer is writing about modern madness. This edition is an expansion of the original, which was published by ITNA Press and features a new introduction by German Sierra. Postures<\/i>, originally published as the eighth book in Publication Studio\u2019s Fellow Travelers Series, features an introduction by Sean Kilpatrick and praise from the late Kevin Killian. Bleach<\/i> is a collection of new and old stories and has received praise from Matthew Simmons and Kate Zambreno. The collection features pieces previously published in Berfrois<\/em>, Terraform<\/em>, 3:AM Magazine<\/em>, and elsewhere. And finally, the original unpublished edition of the PX138 3100-2686 User\u2019s Manual<\/i>, first written as liner notes for Lorn\u2019s EP The Maze to Nowhere<\/i>, received accolades from Tan Lin and was published on Bloomsday, June 19, 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
