Review Quotes: "What must be made manifest, confronted, spoken in these catastrophic times includes the rejection of that which is manufactured as consent. . . . These Alchemy Lectures make clear that a lecture is not a spectacle: it is a gathering; it is a communion; we meet, here, to make plans, to see a way--many ways--to go on."--Christina Sharpe, from the Introduction
