The Hand of the Hand Richard W. Halperin on the punishing work ofThe Hand of the Hand brings us to a future or an alternate universe in which earth, animal, and human intertwinewhere stomachs have meadows, milk pours itself over trees, and flies wash the dead. Vazquez pulls deceptively simple, bare language into puzzling formations, creating an ambient unease.
