Description

Ugly Duckling Presse, paperback

Publication Date: May 1, 2024

Publisher Marketing: Alex Cuff’s first full-length collection, Common Amnesias, moves through the dissolution of adolescent selfhood in the midst of capitalist excess and nuclear family norms, via the territory of dreams, and fallibilities of memory that tether the individual to the common amnesias of our institutions. Weaving through familial chasms, humiliation, and inheritance, the book interrogates the violence a subject endures when daring to disrupt the family bond for a new way of relating to community.
