Just a quick post to let you know that Timothy Pachirat, author of Every Twelve Seconds: Industrialized Slaughter and the Politics of Sight, will be on KUOW radio, which you can listen to right here online. The date and time is this Thursday 8pm PST. If you missed his reading at Elliot Bay Books here in Seattle, then this is your chance to hear him talk, read from the book, and answer questions.
If you haven’t read the book, it’s definitely at the top of my ‘recommends’ list. A very detailed look inside the mundane day-to-day of a Nebraska slaughterhouse and an interesting exploration of a politics of sight in our culture of violence.
