'Covid brought out some of the most reactionary tendencies in society, particularly in the so-called 'left' which (in a bizarre marriage with Trumpism) have only been further amplified in the West since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, to such an extent that elements on the 'left'

'Armand’s works are many and of many kinds, objects, and of a variety of styles and “writings”; they cannot be subsumed under simple headings. To say poetry does not really qualify Armand’s corpus of non-fiction which he names poetry and the word fiction does not say much about

'after[image] is an intrusive thought born from a machine.'

'How do we define form for an artist who seeks to destroy the novel-form? Throughout his late work, Armand has used popular genres as a means of subversion and parody. Like an exploitation film-maker, the disreputable genre could be of use to slip in revolutionary ideas.'
