Sick: A Disturbing Dictionary for Turbulent Times, (Paperback)

AMAZON In the tradition of The Devil's Dictionary, only darker--because let's face it the times are turbulent. The Sick Dictionary definitions are drawn from the movement against the commodification of daily life, Corona Virus vocabulary, and terms that address the apocalyptic crisis in health. The illustrations by Rohitash Rao are barbed counterpoints created in styles ranging from surreal to accusatory to nasty. The authors are founding members of The Sick Bureau, a federation of individuals who are helping sink the imperial ship of routine, narcissism, sadism and obsequiousness. Against this foundering hulk we are aiming the weapons of provocation, spontaneity, stabbing humor and surprise. Words are captive like we are and we strive to set them free.
