far from being “after the fact,” my pop-up s cls s="trms">books> involves multiplicity of bodies, characters and s cls s="trms">materis>alities to approach ‘description’ as “speculative theory in practice of how a s cls s="trms">worlds> works” like s cls s="nms">ajayebs>'s work of “engendering a plane of prolific expres sivity”
