Description
SSES" 'SSES" "SSEY' is a book object that is based/ extrapolates on an MFA thesis Kevin White wrote in 1990 entitled 'SSES" 'SSES" wherein he recapitulated Joyce's Ulysses' recapitulation of Homer's Odyssey to a trip he took across Asia in search of his father (who committed suicide in 1982). 'SSES" 'SSES" "SSEY' takes this recapitulation 1 step further, folding in Kevin's journals, unpublished stories + artwork he made before dying of a heroin overdose in 1997. The super-scripted "SSEY' represents his brother Derek's editorial role in compiling the book-in belatedly finishing the Telemachean pursuit, searching recursively for his brother searching in parallel for their father. Chaulky is the pen name given to their combined effort.'SSES" 'SSES" "SSEY' is also a literary object that reflexively feeds back on the very transcription + curative processes used to produce it, generating loops between original intent + editorial deterritorialization ... a gift of tongues rendering visible not the lay sense but the first entelechy, the structural rhythm-as Stephen Dedalus (Telemachus) says in Ulysses.
