Transcription by Ben Lerner
A narrator recounts a youthful stint in early-1990s London transcribing clandestine conversations for state security and the ways that secret work reverberates through his later life as a writer and teacher; moving between past and present, the novel probes memory, self-invention and the ethics of listening and appropriation, asking how language, surveillance and artistic ambition alter responsibility, truth and intimate relationships.
