520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc. A COLLECTION OF ESSAYS THAT DEAL WITH VARIOUS ASPECTS OF FAILURE IN CREATIVE ENDEAVOUR AND OUTPUT. Various conceptions of form have, across cultures, embodied the liberations of failing: synecdoche; the image; metaphor—all these arise from a preferred inability to represent fully.<br/>The essays in this collection by novelists, academics and film-makers, including Sunetra Gupta, Sumana Roy, Michel Chaouli and Anurag Kashyap, ask readers to account for the attractions specific to failing; for why, and how, it awakens our desire; why it is taboo today in a way quite different from the era before the market; and to reassess this history.
