Unconsenting to allegory: Jocasta Suzanne reviews Eunice Andrada and Amy Crutchfield

Allegory demands perfection of itself – the relation between A and B has to be airtight to function. Insofar as it can only be perfect as mediated through our lives, allegory demands perfection from us as well. It would make sense, then, that in a period of breakdown allegory becomes stressed, intensified to a pitch of delirious, panicky rage; it collapses in on its own perfection, black-hole style.
