Here is a new fiction piece of mine in
@minorlits.bsky.social. It's in a vein I like to call Dairy Mart apocalypticism.
Many thanks to @tobiasvryan.bsky.social, @yanina.bsky.social, and everyone at minor literature[s].

Manic Joy: Irmgard Keun and the Politics of Life Under/Over Fascism — Simon Wortham
minorliteratures.com/2026/03/05/m...
"In Keun’s writing there are no dead [...] It is ugly and it is beautiful. Life goes on, and those who don’t are unloved and unmourned. It is impossible to be dead. It is beyond consideration ..."
Simon Wortham on Keun
minorliteratures.com/2026/03/05/m...
When death is everywhere and nowhere all at once, grief has no object. When grief has no object, we risk going beyond melancholia towards a manic stage…Keun is the great chronicler of the mania that transpires when grief is in want of an object…in other words, the great chronicler of fascism.
"something about the ‘everything-and-nothing’ of fascism...carries itself over into the precise character of manic protest, which takes aim everywhere and nowhere all at once."
– Simon Wortham on fascism and the work of Irmgaard Keun, today at @minorliteratures.bsky.social
"What does anybody know about Irmgard Keun? Failed actress, encouraged by Alfred Döblin to write. A darling of Weimar, her first novel Gilgi a sensation, turned into a film. Falsely accused of plagiarism for her second. Banned by the Nazis ..."

“…but that is the game, the affixing of language to body, isn’t it, meaning-derivation: stage rendered performance-site, by audience-presence alone, how objects must exist in—through—implications, as symbols…”

2 weird little poems in minor lits today that i'm quite proud of, both loosely about/around these erotic systems & structures of reading & the read, sexing-as-reading. i'm writing my current manuscript around what these poems have seeded & were seeded by. i want you to read 🌊
