The Assassination Report

Bag om The Assassination Report

The Assassination Report develops critical and fictional / poetic strategies to revisit the texts of the science fiction 'New Wave' of the 1960s, which infused genre texts with Modernist experimental techniques, such as collage, compression, iteration, and non-linearity. This book explores these fictions from the inside out, inhabiting their techniques to mash-up or remix them, revealing hidden congruences, patterns and structures (of feeling). The main body of the book re-reads and revises texts through cross-pollination: the secret agent as imagined by JG Ballard and Michael Moorcock; the Apollo program re-read through psychedelia; assassination re-imagined as apocalypse; academic essays and institutions reconstituted and re-ordered through the principles of experimental fiction. Key characters - the secret agents 'B' and 'C', the witness and sidekick 'Captain O' - cross time and genre, repeating experiences of war, revolution, incarceration, displacement and death.
