GENESE GRILL

Genese Grill is a writer, painter, and translator living in Burlington, Vermont. Her first book, The World as Metaphor in Robert Musil’s ‘The Man without Qualities’: Possibility as Reality (Camden House, 2012), celebrates the existential powers of imagination and metaphor-making through the lens of an Austrian modernist novelist. Currently she is working on a book of essays and prints exploring the tensions between spirit (idea, feeling, imagination, mind, intellect) and matter (the physical world, the body, art, nature, action, social engagement). In conjunction with these essays, she is building a room-sized illuminated book-portal which will contain an essay on books as spiritual and material objects.
