Uncommon Prayer

Uncommon Prayer is a book about desire, and about the ways in which desire can and cannot be expressed, contained, or controlled by language.  Invoking the structural organization of the liturgical hours, the calendar, and the alphabet, Uncommon Prayer explores how external forms might compensate for the incommunicability of human want—that is, how the parts of expression that aren’t found in dictionary definitions might help to make up for what our words never quite manage to express.  

Rugaciunea neobisnuita este o carte despre dorinta si despre modurile in care dorinta poate si nu poate fi exprimata, continuta sau controlata de limbaj. Invocand organizarea structurala a orelor liturgice, calendarului si alfabetului, Rugaciunea neobisnuita exploreaza modul in care formele externe ar putea compensa incomunicabilitatea dorintei umane - adica modul in care partile de expresie care nu se gasesc in definitiile dictionarului ar putea ajuta la compensa ceea ce cuvintele noastre nu reusesc niciodata sa exprime.
