Mark Young's Salted Fish Exports, Homolog of Traits, and a Young Flaubert

 geographies: Nouakchott


No mains drains, no eigen-

vector centrality, no standard

definition of casual work; but

indicators of scientific journal

prestige have been developed

as a further step to provide

tools in a study of the nation's

historical export of salted fish.


geographies: Denpasar


RealFeel, precip, radar; every-

thing you need to explode

the sun in your backyard. A

woman with bobbed hair

marks a pivotal moment in

the emancipation of rabbits,

given that the homolog of

the trait does not exist out-


side of the Billboard Top

100. A gray cameltoe paces

this way & that, unsettled

by the solar explosion &

the subsequent explosion of

free-range rabbits. An ad

for m&ms follows. It has a

soundtrack by Yo Yo Ma.


geographies: Haute-Normandie


In a naive homage

to the theory of

cyclical recurrence

so popular in

Victorian times


& in the belief

that it would make

his product much

more sellable, the


young Flaubert

downsized the

rôle of Madame

Bovary in his screen-

play adaption of the


eponymous book

& made the lead a

black lesbian vampire

with a PhD in nano-


technology who

dreamt of fame

as a soul artist

through funky

interpretations of


polemic poems by

ancient Etruscans

on the necessity

of eternal conflict.
