Poetry. Fiction. "[A] hybrid tractatus that runs circles around Spinoza and all the bad boys of analytic philosophy.... This 'she, which is another possibility' flips through personae and assertions with madcap glee, culminating in a veritable Q.E.D. of heretical subjectivity that is by turns rigorous, risible, picaresque, and profound"--Pam Lu. "Like a gender-errant Benjamin, Mina Pam Dick constellates recombinant philosophies, aesthetic forgeries, and the intertexual detritus of the big slithering city"--Vanessa Place. "[DELINQUENT] reminds us that imagination lives in language, is uncontainable, fluid, reverses gravity and history, unties the knot between gender and body, assumption and consumption"--Sina Queyras. "The Minas are many. Tompkins Square Park is the site of Philosophical Investigations. Walser is writing the New Sentence, again. Fear and Trembling on the sidewalk... A t-shirt, a haircut, a dependent clause, a math equation. The best part of the dissertation is unwritten--here it is"--Matvei Yankelevich
