  • Again. Again and Again.
    Mathias B. Freese / Mathias BFreese
    Having once been a psychotherapist who’s never hesitated to turn the therapeutical gun barrel toward himself, Mathias B. Freese ramps up his radical reflexivity in this latest work, from confessional first-person narration to third-person 'stories' starring 'characters' named Matt. (This genre could be called meta-Matt.) 'I write to know perhaps something about who I am,' Frees...

  • Nina’s Memento Mori
    Mathias B Freese
    Near the end of Nabokov's Lolita, Humbert makes an honest admission: "[A]nd it struck me…that I simply did not know a thing about my darling's mind."

The profound responsibility of answering the ques...

  • I Truly Lament
    Mathias B. Freese / Mathias BFreese
    'Freese says that ’memory must metabolize [the Holocaust] endlessly,’ and his book certainly turns hell into harsh nourishment: keeps us alert, sharpens our nerves and outrage, forbids complacent sleep so the historical horror can’t be glossed over as mere nightmare. The Holocaust wasn’t a dream or even a madness. It was a lucid, non-anomalous act that is ever-present in ration...
