Han\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn March 2020, Sora Y. Han learned her father was dying of cancer just as the COVID-19 pandemic arrived on California's shores. These two events led Han to introspection: \"Who have I been writing to?\" and \"Who have I been writing for?\" In her observance of the 49 days of mourning in Buddhist tradition, answers come in the form of \u003ci\u003emu\u003c\/i\u003e - \u003ci\u003eno thing\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003enothingness\u003c\/i\u003e. Han's poetic meditations on freedom struggle come alive in the empty spaces between words, letters, and pictograms spanning her many languages--English, Korean, Chinese, jazz, law, and poetry. Transliterating and dystranslating the writings of Fred Moten, Theresa Hak Kyung Cha, Jacques Lacan, Frantz Fanon, and others through the Korean alphabet, Han weaves the DMZ, \u003ci\u003eBetty's Case\u003c\/i\u003e, the Thirteenth Amendment, Afro-pessimism, and psychoanalytic desire together into the open field of Bay Area radicalism. \u003ci\u003eMu\u003c\/i\u003e is both a loving homage to and a playful subversion of political inheritances and the unsayable beyond law.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSora Y.
