Resistance is Futile opens in Mongolia with a poem called 'Yoghurt'.It is spring in Ulan Bator and Hoo Gerjan is seeking legal advice over a stolen car.This is the first of twelve weird narratives separated by brief, lyric moments: stories of Samuel Beckett's telephone, a bet on God's fondness, Fyodor the Crow, murder and revenge in the New Zealand goldfields, a little Italian anarchist assassin, a Christmas message from the Vatican received through an iron, and so on. Gallas keeps finding new ways of telling stories in poetry.His characters endure and survive the wild short-circuitings of language and plot.The most anarchic fact of all is that these things really happen.
