the only reasonable position was treason

"I no longer remember exactly what the footnote said. Only that it referenced something the author believed they had seen but could not confirm. A mention of a film or performance or artwork in which treason was held up to be the highest value. That the world we lived in was irredeemably corrupt and toward it the only reasonable position was treason. What struck me most was the troubling vagueness of the footnote. How could there be a citation that didn’t recall exactly what it was referencing?"

I’m currently serializing my novel-in-progress Faithful Unbeliever. The above lines are from the sixth instalment.

Faithful Unbeliever is the final book of an in-progress trilogy in which all three books are loosely based around questions concerning the desire for utopia.
