Description:Q1759

In HOE #999: Decennial Appreciation and Celebratory Analysis, Kobek attempts a tripped out, high grade alchemical transformation of his adolescent texts. Outsourcing all critical meditation to a Subcontinental Asian essay farm and interweaving this work-for-hire meta-text alongside editorial dialogue and excerpts from the original, he reloads and jacks up his anti-writerial intent for a newer, even stupider millennium. A full decade after its initial appearance HOE #999 continues to infect and fracture, disrupting its surroundings, and shatter any sense of cultural hierarchy. It tells everything the reader needs to know about the outsourcing economy and the terrible state of being twenty-one years of age. Jarett Kobek was raised in the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, and graduated from New York University. His fiction has been nominated for a Pushcart Prize. He lives in Los Angeles.
