BOOKS
Nick Jaina writes books that witness you, that offer you a space to run around and play, books of discovery, books of sparkling magic. His 2015 memoir Get It While You Can was a finalist for the Oregon book award. His 2022 auto fiction SPEKTRUM is a miraculous result of performance art converted into narrative and reinvented as performance art again. Each book is an art object as well as a work of literature.
SPEKTRUM is a unique walk through a strange landscape. Told mostly in second person, it feels like a dream narrated to you.
