How to Quit Writing Forever…And Never Look Back!
by R. Fay
One gay boy’s weaponized self-loathing emerges as a growing fracture of psychedelic despair and deep psychic violence.
f you gaze too long into the abyss, the abyss gazes back at you, girl. In R. Fay’s astounding debut, one gay boy’s weaponized self-loathing emerges as a growing fracture of psychedelic despair and deep psychic violence. Under the existential weight of God and family, romance and writing, labor and theory, a psyche explodes. Caught between a relentlessly abject consciousness and an increasingly violent psyche, the narrator builds a queer hall of mirrors that warps at every angle. Not for the faint of heart,How to Quit Writing Forever… And Never Look Back!is a destabilizing exploration of a shattered queer id. Trigger warning: It’s also quite funny.
