Headwaters And Other Short Fictions

The first comprehensive collection of Lucy R. Lippard's narrative writing features over fifty works spanning five decades. While she is best known for her pioneering work as a curator, author, and activist, Lippard’s compelling and always-candid fiction underscores her broader impact on contemporary culture. The anthology includes previously unpublished pieces, with excerpts from unreleased novels and collaborations with artists. Additional themes include Nature/Culture, Politics Rule, Placings/Replacings, and Happy Ending. These often experimental vignettes range from short stories and conceptual fiction to visual essays and political prose, showcasing the versatility of her literary voice.
