Serializing Failure #5

.


“And I’d think, to answer that question we’d need a much better idea of what we mean by now. Everything seems like a car speeding off a cliff, with no driver and no brakes. But, then again, the problem is that it doesn’t feel like this nearly enough, or for enough people, that we won’t properly feel it until we’ve sped stupidly past the point of no return. And then a suspicion that I have it all wrong. That things are already shifting into more sustainable models and we can’t miss our chance, everyone with a conscience must put all of our force into making this shift a reality. But now isn’t about the future, stupid as it sounds: now is about now. What is it, and is there some kind of art our moment specifically needs?”

The previous paragraph is from my novel-in-progress Failure Finds its Happy End, which I am currently serializing on my Patreon. This is from the fifth instalment which you can find here. It is a novel about a person who decides to start an art movement. For the indefinite future all posts will be free content, so there's no reason not to follow (and get a new instalment every month in your inbox.)
