“Those who are truly contemporary,” Giorgio Agamben writes, “who truly belong to their time,
are those who neither perfectly coincide with it nor adjust themselves to its demands. … To
perceive, in the darkness of the present, this light that strives to reach us but cannot—this is what
it means to be contemporary.”
Born in Portadown, Northern Ireland, Marcus Slease has made his home in such places as Turkey, Poland, Italy, South Korea, the United States, Spain, and the United Kingdom – experiences that inform his nomadic surrealist writing. His latest book is Never Mind the Beasts (Dostoyevsky Wannabe 2020). View more posts
