Synopsis
“This intimate and funny and abstract fiction uses fable, and unreality, to flood a reader with the real, to remind her what is at stake.” –Rachel Kushner
During a residency on Fire Island, artist and writer Hannah Black decided to tackle a highly daunting project: the 2020 novel. The result of her efforts, Tuesday of September or the End, is a slim, playful work of speculative fiction. Written in the aftermath of the early months of the pandemic and the uprisings of summer 2020, the novel explores the ruptures of the year with a satirical sci-fi bent. Black chronicles the lives of two characters, Bird and Dog, as they contend with rapidly changing political possibilities during the pandemic while the run of Moley Salamanders (i.e. Bernie Sanders) concludes and aliens finally invade earth. Through a galvanic vision of how the riots of 2020 might have turned revolutionary, Black offers a meditation on collective life. This crucial novel invites readers to consider who we are―and, by extension, what we are here for―when our normal referents are muted, deleted and upended.
Hannah Black (born 1981) is a New York–based visual artist, critic and writer from Manchester, England. Her work spans video, text and performance and draws from communist, feminist and Afro-pessimist theory. She is the author of Life (2017, with Juliana Huxtable) and Dark Pool Party (2016). Black is represented by the gallery Arcadia Missa in London and Isabella Bortolozzi in Berlin.

Paperback. Condition: New. Tuesday or September or The End by Hannah Black is an incisive and playful work of speculative fiction that explores the rupture year of 2020, when aliens finally invaded. Hannah Black is an artist and writer from the UK. She lives in New York. She has written for a number of publications including The New Inquiry, Artforum, and Bookforum. Her previous books include Dark Pool Party (2016) and Life (2017, with Juliana Huxtable). She is represented by the galleries Arcadia Missa in London and Isabella Bortolozzi in Berlin. Praise for Tuesday or September or the End: Tuesday or September or the End puts calendar time back into messianic time, and also the reverse. An account of the last two disorienting years in history, in our lives, this intimate and funny and abstract fiction uses fable, and unreality, to flood a reader with the real, to remind her what is at stake. - Rachel KushnerAllegory and satire, alert and conscious, Hannah Black's Tuesday or September or the End, is an existential novel. Narrative innocence is not the engine of this work; knowledge of life in the modern is. Bird and Dog, Black's wide awake and dreaming characters, are electric and wise. This novel is fluent in our dystopia and utopia. - Dionne BrandAn acid calendar of planetary rot and revolt, Hannah Black's new novel listens for that alien language of the future: total social transformation. Staging debates on communism and social democracy, or unraveling the double helix of race and capitalism, Black's calendar is one that breathes and breaks, figuring the temporal hiccups of revolution. Suddenly it's no longer endless winter and our narrator Bird, much like chirping in early spring, brings us to witness the reanimation of the world. - Greg NissanIn Tuesday or September or the End, we see ourselves battered by time, which isn't real, and chance, which is. But just as "the world resists its reduction to winter," Hannah Black's writing, in its passionate grasp of possibility, resists spiritual suicide. The book is deeply felt because the pain of attachment is close to its center and funny because life is currently absurd. But what I love most about it, reading its compact brilliant sentences in this sunless covid afternoon, is the way it makes an argument for clarity, which really can-partially, briefly, and when it matters most-sometimes be achieved. - Benjamin Krusling.
