She takes us to the strange edges of art and culture, from hair metal to surf movies to party fiction. \u003ci\u003eAny Person Is the Only Self \u003c\/i\u003eis a love letter to literature and to life, inviting us to think alongside one of our most thrilling and versatile critics.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eElisa Gabbert \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of \u003ci\u003eNormal Distance\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Unreality of Memory\u003c\/i\u003e, and several other collections of poetry, essays, \u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eand criticism.
