Zak Ferguson

 

The logic of Zak Ferguson’s work is one of expansion and collapse, putting forward a thread only to subtlety fold in or snap under, yet felt in body and under skin. Reverberating like a playlist on repeat, songs and memories almost forgotten. His novels: some bizarre, sprawling, frequently obscene, riddled with intentional typos and grammar lapsed-ed-ded-ness, confeve, absurdist, and all intimately observed. He also writes extensively about his experiences with autism or neural diversity in relation to art, which is something that doesn’t get examined or considered in this manner. It is not common to stumble upon a world so fully formed and after the fact like blizzards.
