Winners Have Yet to Be Announced: A Song for Donny Hathaway
"Ed Pavlic shapes the ineffable (some call it Duende, some call it Soul) into a language haunting the borders of the sayable and unsayable, the sung and unsung. He casts Hathaway as Orpheus searching 'for an opening between need and can't have and have and can't need.'Winners Have Yet to Be Announcedis a meditation on our own between-ness: our wish to be rooted pulling against our wish to transcend. It is a visionary book."--Terrance Hayes, author ofWind in a Box
