Literature
Seidenberg has published several collections of literary works, including Itch(Raw Art Press, 2014) Situ (Black Sun Lit, 2018), Plain Sight (Roof Books, 2020), and Anon (Omnidawn, 2022).[4]
His 2014 experimental novel Itch explores existential and epistemological themes through the protagonist's perception of an incessant itch.[5] A review from Colorado State University noted that the novel "offers readers a vision of the novel's future, and its history," eschewing conventional storytelling elements.[5]
Situ (2018) is a philosophical text that blends satire and introspection, following an unnamed entity's dialogue with itself and a bench.[6] Micah Zevin of Heavy Feather Review described the work as linguistically and structurally poetic, consisting of short essays that investigate the complexities of self and reality.[6] Situ has been translated into Italian.[7]
Plain Sight (2020) is a collection that explores concepts of thinking and being through a series of propositions about life, thought, and perception.[8] The work combines philosophical inquiry with poetic language, described by Laura Moriarty as an "excavation of the nous," and by Carla Harryman as "an epic recasting of philosophical language." It employs various rhetorical devices to challenge common illusions and perceptions.[8] Plain Sight has been translated into Portuguese, with a selection also translated into Swedish.[9][10]
