Slickens

A novel

Literary historical fiction · In progress

In the spent tailings fields of the industrial midwest, a surveyor is mapping territory that does not want to be mapped. Slickens is a novel of post-human cartography — of what happens to identity, language, and relation when the ground itself is waste, when the boundary between the human and the abject has dissolved so completely that dissolution becomes the only honest epistemology.

A long book made slowly, with full attention.
