Johanna, Thank you for sharing "Oh,Oh"! I would love to see more of the book. You know I always show my book history classes your "Testament Of Women". In a way a reprise of "Oh, Oh!" after decades of this wonderful and wearying life... J

Really lovely exegesis of work from a prior self. That's an attitude of critique I'd like to emulate, and do occasionally in reading others' work. A lot harder to apply to one's own work, as you do here so well.

I'd absolutely be interested in seeing more of the manuscript.

Johanna,

What a wonderful piece. While I knew of your initial studies at Cal Arts I had no real idea of your work. This whole story is excellent. Oh Oh sounds like an incredible piece of creative work. Thank you so much for sharing this story.

"But it is the language that is so at once compelling and disturbing in its complexity and insularity."

Just so. I'd love to see the whole text.
