  • Summary

  • Welcome to episode number 17 of Anechoic Chamber - freeform commentary from the thriving margins of art and culture. Our guest for this edition is author Audrey Szasz. Currently based in London and raised in Central Europe, Szasz has been noted for writing in the mold of authors such as Anna Kavan and has claimed others such as JG Ballard and Lauetreamont as primary influences - all coming together to suggest a style that resists easy genre classification, and which builds a profoundly personal and admittedly perverse realm of fantasy and nightmare from elements of science fiction, decadent poetry, true crime writing and much more. Perhaps fitting into a class of writers that were once condemned by the literary critic Michiko Kakutani as so-called designer nihilism, Audrey’s creations can often be extremely intense explorations of the psychopathology that results from humans’ existence as eternal contradictions. For example, her latest work Tears of a Komsomol Girl builds its unconventional narrative around a semi-fictionalized portrait of the so-called “Butcher of Rostov,” Andrei Chikatilo. Having made her official debut with “The Plan for the Abduction of JG Ballard” - a collaborative work with the poet and author Jeremy Reed - she has now gone on to release work on the Amphetamine Sulfate and Infinity Land imprints. Our wide-ranging discussion here reveals a number of Audrey’s motivations, thoughts on non-literary human affairs, and spiritual predecessors, who we touch upon in the first part of this program. backing sound piece "Negev" provided by the artist |Artist links (content may be NSFW)| audreyszasz.wordpress.com https://www.infinitylandpress.com/tearsofakomsomolgirl @szasz_audrey |Anechoic Chamber links| host: www.thomasbeywilliambailey.net Donate via paypal: tbwb@protonmail.com
