About
In An Unstable Container, John LaPine explores the provocative dangers and tantalizing pleasures of corporeality across five deeply personal essays. Resonating with a distinct, lyrical Midwestern sensibility, LaPine's work examines with tenderness the intersections of language, society, and the body in our ongoing construction of the self. As he interrogates blackness, queerness, gender roles, and masculinity, what emerges challenges notions of identity and the self. An Unstable Container establishes John LaPine as an emerging voice vital to contemporary creative nonfiction.
