 The volume brings to light part of Cha's achievement, including a fluid series of quasi poems and project notes, accompanied by a handful of photographs: a gridded rack of romance novels, chairs in a Catholic high school classroom. As in Dictée, desire, repetition, and absence—and the implicit comparison between verbal and visual forms of indeterminacy—are central. But surprising for those familiar with the spare griefs of Dictée, there is also snarky humor, pop-cultural observation, and an (almost) unveiled eroticism.  Pablo Picasso was a poet and a good one, but it would be a tragedy if his literary work had somehow diverted attention from his achievement as an artist. Theresa Hak Kyung Cha was an artist and a good one, but it is in no way a tragedy that her book "Dictee" has, to a large extent, eclipsed her artwork. This is not because the artwork is unworthy of attention, but because the experiments with language (and also images) that became "Dictee," a masterpiece of avant-garde autobiography, were not peripheral to her artistic practice but of a piece with it.
In her radical exploration of cultural and personal identity, the writer and artist Theresa Hak Kyung Cha sought "the roots of language before it is born on the tip of the tongue." Her first book, the highly original postmodern text Dictee, published in 1982, is considered a classic work of autobiography and is widely read by students internationally. This stunning selection of her uncollected and hitherto unpublished work at last brings together Cha's writings and text-based pieces with images spanning the period between 1976 and 1980. The volume includes two related poem sequences, Exilée and Temps Morts, major texts incorporating autobiographical elements as well as themes of language, memory, displacement, and alienation--issues that continue to resonate with artists decades after Cha explored them. These moving works give a fuller view of the creative nexus out of which Dictee emerged and attest to the singular literary achievement of a major figure in late-twentieth century art.
