5 Things from my WIP (novel):
- a material history of a cell phone call
- a chapter starting in a stomach
- a list of how much debt every character has
- 10 characters in search of an author
- a chapter that annotates a life story with the bad public policy that structures it.

How might we approach life & decisions & how we move within the world and understand it differently?
In short, the way we tell stories invisibilizes relations of exploitation and harm and telling stories differently might be critical for ecological & social justice. Or something

It is a book about different ways we could write books inspired by Queneau’s Exercises in Style.
I have no fucking clue what I’m doing or whether it will be readable at the end. But, you know, experimental writing is the equivalent of basic research in science. So. Trying anyways!
