Hi, I'm Cedar Lewisohn, and you're about to listen to one of the stories from my book, The First Fourteen Thousand, Four Hundred and Thirty Nine Words.
The book was first published in 2017, with all texts being written between 2015- 2017.
All the stories are written by me and they're written in the spirit of text as artwork. I work as an artist and writer and curator, and I've written a lot of different shorts stories, almost as if the stories are sculptures. I'm interested in the idea of writing by visual artists and novels by visual artists, and all these stories are written in that way. So although the stories are narrative, they're also kind of like artworks in a way. They're often written in response to a location, or in response to a feeling, or emotion, but I kind of see them as sculptures.
I'm really happy to have other people that I don't know, read the stories, because in a way that brings them to life and turns the sculptures into real things like sound artworks. So they're a bit quirky. I hope you enjoy them and i hope you come back and listen to the others.
