Backstory Talks: Julie Carr in conversation with Emily McBride

We are pleased to welcome the American poet and writer Julie Carr to Barcelona to read from The Garden, the first book in the trilogy titled Overflow.  She will be joined in conversation by Emily McBride.

The Garden is dedicated to two seminal figures in Carr’s life: the painter Tony Robbin, who paints four-dimensional space, and the theoretical physicist, feminist, and philosopher, Karen River Barad. Through a spirited series of fractured and interwoven narratives, The Garden reorients themes of time, war, Jewishness, memory, techno-biology, friendship, and grief. This work of essay-auto-fiction embraces the porous vulnerability of beings appearing in the overflow, the violence and rapture of the ongoing “now.”
