ZOLF, Rachel. Masque. Toronto: The Mercury Press, 2004. First Edition. 4to. Perfect bound into Wrappers. 85pp. As New.

A polyphonic assemblage of fragments, Masque engages media constructs and the flesh in methodically built layers painstakingly stripped away. A cast of characters interrogates Author, Performer, and Audience -- public and private personae revealing traces of veiled knowledge. The narrative lines coil inward: tautening. Just when it seems too much, the traces perform a type of reparation: held cumulatively, then released, again and again.
