The book begins \u201cYou are a piece of shit and nobody likes you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ric Kasini Kadour\u2019s Everything That Is Wrong With You and How to Fix It<\/em> takes as a point of departure Austrian playwright Peter Handke\u2019s 1966 anti-play Publikumsbeschimpfung<\/em> during which actors cast insults at the audience. The book is illustrated with Kadour\u2019s photographs of banal objects and New Orleans oak trees.<\/p>\n

Read as testimony, the book speaks to the buffet of verbal, emotional and environmental insults the come to us every day. Kadour gives voice to these stings and rages and then turns them on their head.<\/p>\n

As a sermon, the bravado of the title carries itself through the piece. Kadour speaks to us from on high, exhorting us to examine ourselves in both the darkest and brightest places.<\/p>\n

As social critique, Kadour, like Handke, uses \u201cwords to encircle the audience so they\u2019d want to free themselves by heckling; they might feel naked and get involved.\u201d* But where Handke\u2019s play devolves into rhythmic chatter, a nonsense that negates both the insults and the praise, Kadour ends Everything…<\/em> with a call to action.<\/p>\n

Everything\u2026<\/em> includes a commentary by Christopher Byrne, \u201cRemembering Everything\u201d. Byrne writes, \u201cEverything That Is Wrong With You and How to Fix It<\/em> is writing that is meant to be dissected, examined and internalized. Read it how you will.\u201d<\/p>\n
