I’m putting together a reading list of theory-fiction and looking for more examples. What would you recommend? Playing loose with the definition to include both theory-heavy memoirs and more experimental works of speculative fabulation:pic.twitter.com/BHkQhTfs5L

You need more women on this list: Kathy Acker, Gertrude Stein, Jane Bowles, Eva Figes, Eimear McBride...maybe start with this article:https://www.tiltedaxispress.com/blog/2016/11/7/coverage-of-experimental-fiction-writing-is-a-half-formed-thing …

I was thinking the same thing. Acker and Brooke-Rose are definitely going on the list, I'll have a look at the others mentioned in the article. Thanks!

You could give Vilém Flusser’s Vampyrotheutis Infernalis a try.

That sounds great! Since reading Uexkull I've felt that alien "umwelts" had a lot of untapped fictive potential.
-
Yes! I think it’s something along those lines. You could even make a case that his book on photography (“philosophy of the black box”, something like that) develops the umwelt of a technical object.

No worries, and thank you! It was a lot of fun compiling it, and I'm always looking for more that I missed.
