Synopsis: Production stills and character monologues from Sue de Beer's video installation, The Quickening, comprise the meat of this dreamily American gothic book. The texts and images draw on literary and historical sources including works by Jonathan Edwards, Joris-Karl Huysmans, and Nathaniel Hawthorne. Puritansim's choke-hold on teenage sexuality becomes filtered through de Beer's bare-bones B-movie prism. With essays by Kim Paice and Susan L. Abreth.
